I am well into the first week of the second half of The Plan. typical schedule has shorter runs Tues/Thurs. Longish run Wed. then a fast longish run Sat and The Long Run on Sunday. 5 days of running a week. ramp up for approx 3 weeks, then have a cut back recovery week. repeat this cycle until Berlin. mileage starts with approx 24 total miles this week. I will see a max number of miles in August when I hit 43 miles/week. its kind of comforting to know my days are planned and my runs are slated. no guesswork, no screwing around. just perform.
running 5 wed afternoon was tough. i am still feeling Murph'd. my legs are super stiff and sore. whatever tendon/muscle runs up your inner thigh is just aching. and having a stiff and sore upper body makes for a hard run. its hard to let go and relax and run, when you are constantly reminded of your arms/shoulders/chest. it was a fairly slow 5 miles, took me 44:17. slow and steady, I guess. this whole week has been difficult. no more Murph this year.
5/28/14. run. coffee. orange. nuts. meatloaf and carrot ragout with mashed potatoes and corn. apple. nuts. bbq chicken sandwich. broccoli salad. salad. lot of water.
