Training Log 2008.06.09 – 2008.06.15
Mon: ran 6 hilly loops around my development (40 mins, 4.4 miles)
Tue: tried running on treadmill in very hot + humid fitness center at hotel, but bailed after 3.3 miles since I was pouring sweat even when going at an easy pace. Didn’t know where to run outside so ran 5.4 miles of loops in the parking lot of a strip mall across the street which offered some shade. Boring boring boring. 8.7 miles for the day
Wed: got a tip from my customer yesterday about running locations and ran along the Erie Canal Heritage Trail which was really a nice. The locks where they can raise/lower boats were neat. Sure beats the strip mall parking lot. Weather was also much cooler in Rochester than in PA. 10.5 miles
Thu: ran along the Erie Canal trail again. Did 6 miles super easy, HR averaged under 120.
Fri: Off
Sat: ran 21 miles on the Lebanon Rail Trail with Jon. We went down from the Colebrook trail head to the Conewago trail 5.5 miles, headed back, refueled and then ran 5 more miles out and back in the other direction. Jon is a madman since he had to work the night before and basically came straight from work to run. Hardcore.
Sun: Legs felt pretty good and HR was totally recovered, but didn’t want to push it so went to LA Fitness and rode the stationary bike for 45 minutes.
Overall: Just over 50 miles (my highest volume in a long time) and feeling pretty good. Looking forward to the rail trail marathon in two weeks. Nate has volunteered to provide bike-based support crew duties for Jon and I during the race. Thanks Nate!
