5K done at a mostly 6:00 pace. It hut more at first then settled but there was always a bit of muscle pain.
In addition to a bit of no big deal muscle pain I have a heat rash which tells me my core was a bit too hot for too long yesterday. Thats probably what slowed me down more then anything... the body get what it wants!
I didn't mention my shoes in the R4K report. I wore my Mizuno Wave Elixer 8's with the metatarsal supports. Its a really lite shoe with little stability , a great feeling on the heal with almost no cushioning off the toe. I always figured they would make a good 10K maybe even 1/2 shoe but going longer ... no way. Last week I wore them on my treadmill runs and was quite surprised that they really agreed with my feet. So I gave them a shot and they were fantastic , no foot pain , no blisters ...perfect for the 56.5K on the track!
Grant has a really good day yesterday covering 56k. looking at his splits he ran a very consistent pace and didn't waver at all. He nailed the nutrition and hydration and it showed...way to be Grant!
