The plan this week was to do my long run on Sunday but the weather report called for torrential downpours so I moved up the run a day. Probably not the best of plans after a hard run yesterday but I figured I be as smart about it as I could be and did a double loop. That way if I wasn't feeling it I could cut the run short. I did the run with Dave and for the first time incorporated a Gallowwalking type workout. 2 miles running followed by 1 minute walking. I thought it would be kind of dumb but that minute sure did go by quick. All th3e research seems to show that it doesn't take away fromthe workout but allows for a faster recovery. We'll see. I actually felt pretty good for the run after the first 3 miles. It took that long to really loosen up and get into a rhythm. I could have run longer but decided to end it at the 17.5. With my deciding against the spring marathon there's no need to do too much milage right now. |
