Hi Everyone,
Today marks three weeks of training. I'm feeling good about the progress. Before I started this round of training, my longest distance was 15miles and my fastest 3mile was 24min. Longest distance is now at 20mi and fastest 3mi at 22min - good start but a long ways to go. For those that don't know, a marathon is 26mi and a 3'40" race is an 8:24 pace...a lot work still ahead and I have to stay healthy.
Tonight's run was a quick loop around he neighborhood (2.97mi / 25:23 time / 8:32 pace). Crazy to think that pace won't even be good enough at 26.2 miles to make my goal...yikes.
Managed to get my yoga/runner stretches in tonight and a good ice down on the legs. I'm going to keep it short again tonight because I also have a goal of 8hrs of sleep, also a big help towards recovery and staying motivated and healthy.
A big thanks to those that recently donated to The Children's Trust. I'm grateful and know the Trust as well as the families they support greatly appreciate the gesture. http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/runflickrun
Thanks All ~RunFlickRun~
Did you find a few good stretches that you like?
ReplyDeleteYes, I found a good set of 10 poses for runners and I've incorporated a few from the video you sent me. I haven't made it through all of the them from the video...just haven't made enough time to watch them all.
ReplyDeleteThe back half of the stretches are the best.
ReplyDeleteNow you tell me.
