Run: Recovery (5.00 mi @ 08:33)
VFFs.
I got sick immediately after yesterday’s run. That’s why I bonked so hard during. Felt like crap all day. Shitting water. Couldn’t eat dinner. Wasn’t much better this morning. Struggled through the day a bit but had to get out to keep the miles going. Figured it would help loosen me up. Still not so great. Found out the kids have had this for the last few days too. Guess they passed it to me or something.
We are now officially less than 30 days until the start of the Leadville Trail 100. I am pretty blah about it this week. More like…let’s get this over with. Want to get going. Feeling the drag of training for this since I committed to it last year. I know at this point I am not going to massively change my outcome by doing anything different day to day. Hence the desire to get going. However, it will mean the end of summer in a sense so I can wait for that a bit longer.
Longs is officially penciled in for Sunday AM. 4 AM-ish start so I can get some night running in. Otherwise, I would have been happy to go later. Keyhole. Debated Loft route. Another time — like when JV is guiding.
Hip might have been slightly better today but the run was short. Want to get it healthy.
I went 5.00 miles with an elevation gain of 111 feet in 00:42:50, which is an average pace of 08:33. Heart rate average was 122. View my GPS data on Garmin Connect.
