Sorry y’all been a busy week with work. They have me going 5:15am-5pm some days lol. On days with long shifts (which has basically been all week) I just run hella errands on my bike and normally get minimum 6 miles, usually more.
but today i was off so we had another wonderful trail run
nov 19 2020
run
16.5 miles. 4 hrs 20 mins total elapsed time. 100-145 avg HR
so definitely a slow pace hahaha. I did take food breaks which slowed me down a lot. I need to practice eating on the run to not lose so much time. Calories on the run were:
-oatmeal cookie
-oatmeal cookie
-quinoa + bean burrito, half of PBJ sandwich, sports drink
-oatmeal cookie
(all of these were about 30-60 mins apart)
this was probably more than I needed but i didn’t get nauseous so it’s no problem of overeating or anything like that
To stay in topic of the whole point of this log - I think the high intensity anaerobic training has definitely helped. My perceived exertion on climbs especially, but also in general is significantly lower than before. The problem is that my body isn’t used to the sustained impacts of long distance running as much. One of my feet got sore underfoot about 3-4 miles in which concerned me but I decided to push through. It didn’t worsen but after 16 miles, both my feet took a beating. Now after getting home, I can barely walk on it.
Bonus: pics of the trail. This was in Wayne national forest, Ohio’s only real “backcountry”
