RO$$: S(9), M(0), T(5), W(5), R(0), F(9), S(6). 34 miles total -- the highest week yet for me, largely because I ran five days and not four. Just trying to build the miles sensibly. I've been doing pull-ups almost every day, so I'm starting to get pretty jacked. Guys, don't be surprised if you don't recognize me whenever you get to Pittsburgh on race week.
Sam: S(7), M(6), T(6), W(11), R(10, 6.5@6:05 pace), F(6), S(0). 46 miles. Pace work felt pretty good. Need to buy a new pair of trainers. Suggestions?
Gordon: S(5) M(6) T(4) W(5) R(0) F(5) S(5) 30 miles total - That's great about the pace work. I've been meaning to get started, but the pain in my knee keeps cropping up. I keep wondering if I should just tough out a tempo run or if I should take a week off to let it get better. Thoughts?
Sam - you don't like the free's?
ReplyDeleteActually I've got a new pair in the attic. Thanks for reminding me. I'll probably get something sturdy as well and do the two-shoe rotation.
ReplyDeleteAs for taking a week off, now would be the time to do it. It seems like it's been at least a month and half since the knee's been bothering you, no? Tendonitis?
I don't know - I kind of think that it's just a strained IT band that I haven't allowed to fully heal. It doesn't hurt everyday, just when I try and run faster or if I run for a longer distance.
ReplyDeleteHappy to help with shoes for the cause.
