71 - 900' - up/down on Shut-In.

75 - 3,900 - 1,900' up/down on Shut-In, then 2,000' up only on treadmill.
76 - 2,700 - up/down on Shut-In with a Double Tempo. See this post.
77 - 2,150 - up/down on final 2 mile section of Shut-In and the Mt. Pisgah Trail all done between 4,200'-5,700' of elevation. VERY EASY effort today.
This week I wanted to go a little easier on the easy days and a little bigger on the quality days. I'm gearing up for a good 10 week training block for Mt. Evans and I'm sure it will look more like this. So for the next 2-3 weeks I plan on going a little harder and a little easier.
Took a few shots of where I do most of my runs on the Shut-In trail the other day when it was all shut in.

Awesome venue to run in... the overcast adds that element of not knowing what's past that next bend or tree.. I love mornings like that! Thanks for sharing...
ReplyDeleteWhen the weather's like that and I'm on a new trail my 1 hour out/back turns into 2 hours for sure!
ReplyDeleteIs that a deer?
ReplyDeleteThat's Tima, but when she's not around I usually get to see some deer.
ReplyDeleteHey! We will def. have to catch up sometime on soccer. I have yet to meet a true player that played for years that has not had some sort of knee issue/surgery/tear. I was riding the other day with a guy who told me he had 4x surgery on his knee...and I thought...from riding? really? and he said, no- soccer. I just had to laugh because I GET IT!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog- glad to see you are able to do so much with your running. Take care!
Thanks Damie.
ReplyDeleteI feel pretty lucky with my knee. I was in my mid-late twenties playing "for fun" in a 7 aside men's league when I was finally finished for good. I chose no surgery at that point and went with some good physical therapy. The outside of my left knee is like a really old strethced out rubberband on the inside! Other than changing directions quickly I can pretty much do everyting else.
