2.5+ on the Cinders

November 18th & 19th

Friday –   Just a one mile jog on the cinders to  keep the consistency going.  A.T.  OK

Saturday –   was  unseasonably warm and  sunny. It was a beautiful day for a Meet of Champions in the morning and a workout on the cinders in the late afternoon.

   64*at 3:45 p.m.                                                                                                 My workout consisted of two and a half miles of running at 12 minute pace stopping on each half mile lap for 3 minutes  to do leg drills,core and arms.   Since I am only running at 12 minute pace, it is not aerobically taxing. So the additional work keeps my heart rate elevated a little higher. The entire workout consumed 45 minutes in motion. And happy to add no uncomfortable or painful sensations in my Achilles tendon. That has been for 4 consecutive days of pain-free running on cinders in a row. I am a happy me!

  Let me add that after four consecutive days of happy running,  I heard myself saying to myself on the track this afternoon, “Swimming and biking are recreational activities, but running is serious shit.”
