Wanted to run 4:00 pace because that will be approx. half marathon pace (Nov. 20) and because of soreness. Had acupuncture before running, which helped somewhat.

2:30 - Ran to school for an easy run with two of the coaches.

Planned to run 4:30 pace but felt fairly good so went a bit faster. Also planned to pick up the last 2k, which I did.
Running well, with proper midfoot striking, which I always mean to do, but often get away from.
Weather: 20C/68F, 60%, cloudy.
Weight: 61.5kg - gaining instead of losing!
160g AdiZero Pro (Half race shoes)
Took 2 ibuprofen 4 hrs before the run to reduce inflammation, which it did, I think. hardly any soreness during or after the run.
Sunday
3:00 - 25k in 2:10:52 @5:14
28:28/27:08/25:56/25:05/24:12 @ 5:42/26/09/01/4:50
Planned to run easy 5:30 pace but got faster without trying to. Just cruising the whole way. Again took 2 ibuprofen 4 hrs before and had no soreness, except a bit near the end.
Best two days in quite a while.
Weather: 18C/64F, 70% (right after rain)
Weight: 61.8kg - ok, really have to lose weight.

Good to see the butt problem is behind you Bob.
ReplyDeleteHow do you like the K-Swiss? Are they wide? I'm thinking of trying a more cushioned shoe (but light) to alternate with the Frees/Kinvaras.
Ha ha.
ReplyDeleteThe K-Swiss are wide, but are too heavy for most training. I only wear them on short, slow days.
