10/13 Saturday - 17 miles/10+ trail race
am- Farmdale Trail race 10/30/50mile races. ran 10 miler in hard effort in 1:57@ 161 HR (this is very high for me lately) thought I would run faster. ended up 81st out of 113. a bit disappointed but effort good but felt so slow. temp was 48-65 with rain last 1.5mile, not bad...got real bad for 30-50 milers. I had fun racing and hanging out with other runners after race. (chris ran the 30 miler so I had time to kill) Rob (former local runner) won 30 miler in 4:27. His wife Melissa ran 30 miler, her first after many marathons. NIce chatting with them after the race.
Later found out only 2 people older than me ran faster than 1:57 which surprised me alot. of course only about 6-8 people 54 years and older total.
legs never felt light or strong.
week totals = 53 miles/ 35 running
Jeff, it was great to see you at Farmdale. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteSo what's the reason your "legs never felt light or strong"? Do you need more hill work? Intervals? Tempo runs? Too much slow and easy? Too much walking? I think the continuous 10 miles was something your body wasn't used to. You need more continuous runs (even if they are easy paces)--NO MORE WALKING!
