been busy but still running. did track last wednesday and felt good. did a hard work of deconstructed thousands, 4 x 600 / 300 / 100, 600s at 2:30, 300s at 1:05ish, 100s at :17-:16. 100 walk / jog between each segment, and 400 recovery after each set.
had to take a few days off because of second dose effects and crap weather but salvaged the week with a 7.5 stroller run sunday, longest i've done in a while and a lot harder now that daugther is 6 and a half ha.
my legs were feeling it yesterday so 5.75 mile recovery run at 9 minute pace.
catching up here:
@Michigan Planner - the knee soreness was probably from your shoes. i've done impromptu workouts in my dailies and never feel good the day after. i don't remember the gel nimbus being a particularly flexible shoe so maybe it was just a bit of extra strain when trying to crank it? hope things have gotten better over the past few days
@jbarwick - basically all the running gear i own is tracksmith. the van cortland stuff is nice, but as MP said, if you sweat a lot it can get really uncomfortable really quickly. i had to donate my van courtland shorts and singlet because i couldn't wear them in the summer. i love the session shorts, i have like 5 pairs. i find the twilight tanks and tees much more comfortable than the van courtland stuff, but again, they handle a super sweaty guy much better. TS makes a lot of stuff i find unnecessary or would never buy unless i received like a gift card or something, but there are a few things that i think are really exceptional and worth the extra money. session shorts, turnover tights (and the half tights), twilight tees and tanks.
@FlyingMonkey - i'm super happy that you ran so well but also super bummed it also came with some additional hamstring problems, so congrats and also sorry.
