Working days today. The trash your quads run was effective I am a wee bit sore , not 50k sore just a little so I would have to say that Wednesday and Thursdays run were quite effective at achieving the goal. So being a wee bit sore and tired I decided a 5K walk would be nice and it was!
Followed up Wednesdays long one with some elevation Thursday. The idea was to trash the quads ahead of next weeks Grand Canyon adventure. Headed to Beaver Valley and did some hill repeats of sorts. Ran hard down and hikes up fast.
Last long treadmill run of the season is done logging 27 km on the treadmill late this afternoon. It was 25 km at a 6:31 pace followed by a 2km walk 12:00 pace. The weather has improved and I am sure I will betaking the long one outside going forward.
March - 139.3 km
YTD - 428.3 km
The month started with my last ski trip of the year another week at Whistler. Hurt my left ribs in a fall and it was quite painful when I started running when I returned. I had planned to do a long run after the ski trip however I eased back into things slowing it down to a 7:30 pace and doing shorter runs. Its been almost 5 weeks since I injured myself but I am happy to report I am 95% recovered just a wee bit of pain. April is a the start of my Ultra/Trail runs headign to the Grand Canyon mid month followed by the OutRace spring warm up then volunteering at PYP ( Was late to the registration ).
