Week 3, Day 5 LSD
Goal: Run for 1:30 in Z1-Z2.
It was cold and windy today. This run was slow and sluggish. I started to feel a little groove at times, but for the most part, I didn't feel strong. I did pick up the pace a little in the last 1/2 mile, and felt good doing it, but other than that, I don't feel like it was a hugely productive run, other than the fact that I got the mileage in, and stuck to the plan (didn't run too hard, even though I saw my paces were slow).
How can the wind blow in your face for 260 degrees? I definitely felt like the wind hurt more when I was runnning into it, versus helping when it was at my back. I admit, I was a little disappointed with my paces today, but I guess I should not get too concerned, as there was major mileage increases this week, plus it was so windy.
Also, lots of lower leg potential problems... Things I was aware of in this run were:
Stiffness on the outside edges of my feet
soreness in various spots in my calfs
the lingering medial ankle/heel issue
tightness behind my knees - hamstrings?
Lots of trigger point work coming today and tomorrow...
