Total mileage: 40km in 2 days
Fri: 20km faster than slow
Was down and out since last Saturday's hill running for 4 days. Basically almost every muscle and joint ached in the legs, especially the quadriceps and the knees.
Only 30mins of barefoot running on warm asphalt on Thursday. Was glad I stopped short of the initial plan of 1 hour, as the heat and rough surface is a good formula for blisters. Trying to walk barefooted whenever I step out of home.
Was asked by my hill running friend for another session on Saturday but I politely declined. The hills will do more damage than help for my marathon preparation. But I am very sure I will be back regularly to tackle those steep slopes after my marathon; will need them to become a more balanced runner.
No training on Saturday for me, a long weekend rest. Planning on coming back in full force on Monday.
