Weekly Long Distance Run Getting Easier
Thought is would be worthwhile to mention that I did my weekly long run for Robie Creek half marathon training. As usual, I followed the Boise River along the greenbelt. I am tapering off on the distance now. Last week was a 2:30 run while yesterday’s was a shorter 1:45 run.
What else is different is that at the half way point, I then turned up the speed for the next 3 miles, clocking in at 7:36, 7:24, and 6:58 for those three miles. Yes, I was tired after this run, but not nearly as much as the previous long distance runs that I have done on prior weeks. My training efforts have been limited to three runs a week for the last three weeks; one week day run and then two runs on the weekend. We are in the middle of painting the inside of our home with the intention of putting it on the market for sale soon.
Also should mention that the latest thirty day challenge is going to be a tough one - 50 push ups per day. April 1st’s push ups weren’t too bad. I did five sets of ten push ups. This morning I could only do five sets of 4 push ups, my muscles are sore today. I’m going to have to put in the remaining push ups later tonight.
