Running – Week Ending 3/27

Posted on March 29, 2011 by Aaron K

Had another pretty solid and fun week of running last week. Nothing too intense on effort or mileage, but right where I want to be right now.

Total: 50.85 Miles – 8 hrs 18 min – 8500′ vertical.

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday were all easy and slow, and short recovery days.

Tuesday - 10.25 miles total – Did about 4.5 miles of speed/interval work on varying terrain with Nan and the RRB averaging 5:30 pace. 90 second intervals were faster the 3-4 minute intervals a bit slower. The workout felt pretty solid and I finished strong. Each workout with subsequent 2-3 days of rest I am feeling better and better.

Thursday - 11 miles – 1:53 – 2700′ vertical – Ran with Schlarb and Levi up Flagstaff to the bottom of the ranger trail on green and then back the same way. Easy run for them, while I huffed and puffed and couldn’t keep up well on the sustained uphill. It was my first sustained up hill run in over a month and I could clearly feel it, even trying to keep up with them on their very casual pace. I added on another lap half way up flagstaff again after we got down because I still had plenty of time to kill and felt like running still.

Saturday – 15.25 Miles – 2:48 – 4050′ vertical – Was going to do an easy out and back from my house for 2 hours…but once I got out, I got the hankering to run up a mountain I hadn’t been up before. Then the run turned into a much cooler run with my wife being called from the peak to come pick me up when I got down since I didn’t want to turn the run into 25-30 miles. Was glad I brought the cell phone because I knew once I headed up the mountain I wasn’t going to want to run all the way home.
