On the Trail Again

Just a little 11.2K +683/-677m trail run this evening before dinner. This was my first local trail run of the season. Up until mid April there was too much snow, when it melted I was doing Seaton then a week later Waterloo. Went out hard , legs told me so after a few Ks. I was doing Fire Wood all day so it probably didn't help with the run. The chest felt heavy, 02 was art a premium. It was kind of cool. 10C and lots of wind. Highlight of the run was scaring an Owl out of its roost. Its not often that you get to see these magnificent creatures so close. More fire wood on the books tomorrow, does that count as cross training? I may hit the trail again for a couple of loops but more then likely I will do an LSD 25-30K at an easy pace!

Getting ready for Saturday

Haven't been running this week, sort of wanted to but things have been too busy at work and at home. Its really not so bad because I am going to attempt my first Ultra tomorrow. I figured that its not as much about speed as it is stamina , best thing for this was a few days of R&R!

Went out for a trail run last night , did a 9K run like it was the start of my 6 hour race..... real easy! It was a slow pace , uphills I really made a change ... increased the cadence and shortened the stride, it worked !

Finished in 55 min , and I felt like I could go for another 5 hours.

Tired legs today

Man, was I ever not into this run, tired legs and something
passing through the system. In spite of a total lack of energy I
managed a 11+K trail run at a very slow pace 6:15.
