wednesday: 6 miles. one of the women on the team's running partner was injured so i jumped in and did the workout with her. 3 x 1200 on the ambroe mile at race pace. 1200 instead of 1500 because of the ridiculous amount of sand on the front end still. i was encouraged at how easy they felt, even though they were meant to feel not that hard. all in all, it was kind of fun to do something outside of my training box. after, i did about 4 barefoot strides on the indoor track (don't worry alison, it was only because my shoes were really muddy) which felt really good.
it wasn't until i was about to start doing this workout that I realized i did a workout on tuesday also. oh well. neither of them was particularly demanding. i still need to squeeze in a hill workout this week and that promises to be much more tiring. hopefully tomorrow.
I am ok with barefoot running in such situations (i.e. strides).
ReplyDeletethis reminds me, i meant to tell you about something. i've done barefoot strides inside on the track a couple of times and it has been great - i don't feel like it was a huge help or anything, but it was fine. but i did them outside one day - 4 or 5 of them out behind the rec - and my foot hurt for the rest of the day. guess it was too much too fast. crazy.
