Somewhat recovered from injury

Posted on July 1, 2008 by Thomas Powell

Today was the second day of my first back-to-back days of running since the Hatfield-McCoy marathon. I’m running at a considerably more sane pace than 8 minute miles.

I have noticed that my body seems to be a little bit unfamiliar with running now. Still, 6.4 miles yesterday… below my established 8’50″ easy pace. Had to wrap in FreezeIT after. This morning, my first mile was rough, but 8’33″ pace overall for 8 miles. My heel and ankle hurt a little bit, but I’m actually feeling better after today’s workout than after yesterday’s.

  • Progressive Long Run (16 miles) while watching the game #twit2fit #running One of the things that's great about football season is that you can easily do a long run on the treadmill while watching the game.  I did mine today at home on my Sole F80 at a 1% incline (watching the UofL-UK game). I've been doing my long runs at......
  • My first double run in a while #twit2fit Okay, it's not a classic double for me.  I rarely split runs into two separate runs unless I'm going past 90 minutes (usually not until 120 minutes).  However, I need to restrict my lunch run to 45 minutes and I also need to be able to run at slower than......
  • Negative splits on my 18 miler (streak day 92) #twit2fit Last week, I ran a 16 miler in which I never got my legs under me.   My expected easy/long run pace is roughly 9:30 per mile, but I'm okay with 10 minute miles given the warmer weather. My result was a 10:19 pace for 16 miles, with the last few......
  • It's been a year and a half since 18 miles hurt so much. I seem to be making a habit out of faltering on my long runs. I got started late--7 am. My hips and abdominal muscles were already sore. My right ankle was stiff. Mile 16 was an 11:29 mile, despite running for 95% of it.Conditions were 75.6°F average temp and 79%......
