Subject: RE: 30 runs in 30 days - who's with us?
#959- 5.7 mi with 15 x short steep hill repeats, accumulated over 1000ft gain. I do the downhills as fast as I can without being out of control. The area I chose is relatively soft, but plenty of obstacles since I am trying to improve my downhill running skills.
#960- 10.5 miles on the road, was short on time and I'm too slow on trails
#961- 10.2 mi local trails, I ran this fast for trails avg. 8:51 min/mi
#962- 18.6 mi with about 4000ft gain, 4 hour run, mostly in the 12 min/mi range with a few very slow miles (15min/mi range ) over some tough technical sections I added. I fell once, but stumbled ALOT. But I have an excuse! I had some eyesight problems. I wear contacts and I thought that something was wrong with them because everything looked really cloudy, but when I got home and took them out, I realized it was my eyes and not the contacts. I saw the eye doctor and apparently I scratched up my corneas a bit. So, long story short, I couldn't see too good today and stumbled and tripped a bunch (but only actually fell once!!! ).
Believe it or not, the 5.7 mile run made me the most sore. It really hits the tops of my quads coming down those hills fast. I am glad though. I feel like I have to expose every weakness I have now during training and fix it. |
