Monday and Tuesday were more on the recovery side w/ a few uphill strides thrown in there.
Wednesday was a progression run that did not progress as planned. 3 mile w/u with some strides, then a 7 mile progression. After about 3 miles any progression had me struggling so just cruised at whatever I felt I could handle for the rest of the run.
Thursday was some more recovery followed by a moderate 90 minutes on Friday.
Felt strong on Saturday going 40 minutes at 1 hard/1 easy, 16 reps were uphill and 4 were down for 1,500' of climbing. With w/u and c/d this was a 90 minute run.
Nice and long and easy on Sunday with a good amount of climbing. 2:33 w/ 3,730' of up/down. Struggled a bit on anything steep, but felt really good on all the moderate stuff.
Can't beat blue tongues, snowcones, and a ball game on a Sunday afternoon.
What team for the ball game?
ReplyDeleteLove the blue tongues.
Landed on what you will shoot for next?
Asheville Tourists - The Rockies A club team.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking Mt. Evans. What can you say about the course since you tore it up a few years ago?
Nice.
ReplyDeleteEvans is not too steep, as it gains 4000ish in 14 miles. The last couple of miles (or maybe it is a mile, it just felt that long), are tough though. There is even some down in the middle. And the footing, of course is excellent.
But that last mile. Ouch.
