AM - 10 miles on the good old treadmill. Woohoo! This is the best my calf has felt in weeks. I feel I owe it to Lybi and her patented "torture" techniques. Thanks to her, I am down to a tiny sore spot in my calf that is not real sore, I can just feel it when I stretch. We are going to continue to scrape and massage until there are no more knots or tender spots. Back to the run - it felt really good. No problems with the leg on the run, I felt the "pop" in my legs as well. I felt like I could have easily doubled the run without problems, as long as I fueled good enough. I have also decided to change my fueling strategy at the ADT 1/2 and at St. George. I had previously alternated between gatorade and water, but have decided this may have led to fuel issues. I am going to plan on taking only gatorade. In addition, I am going to take a gel every 5-6 miles. I think that this will help me to ensure I have enough fuel. I am going to stick with 6 miles/day this next week, with a 12 miler for the long run, putting me at 42 miles next week, and will bump up the long run the week after to 14-15 miles, leaving my daily miles where they are. |
