I decide to do some hill running today, but I also told myself that if my IT band started to hurt I would stop and walk so I ran up to the mail boxes via Mount Loafer school road and I then headed back the same way I came. After about a mile I stopped and stretched and I wanted to keep the pace slow like right around a 9:30 pace and I was able to do that, on the way back down I tried to keep a good rhythm but not push it and I had a 7:45 mile in there and an 8:00 and then when I reached canal road the last .52 was at a 7:30 pace... Total time for the 5.52 was 48:12, average pace was 8:44 and my HR average was 143. When I returned home I ran a couple of miles with my son Ethan and the first mile he wanted to push the pace so we did that one in 8:43 and then we took it easy on the way back, total time was 18:38. My IT band is a little sore but I have iced it and rolled it so I am hoping that it will recover for tomorrow, but I will have to see. I still don't know about SG yet but I will see how the next month or so goes and then I will see where I am at;-)
See you tomorrow. |
