#xc training

[cmjhawk86]

I had a nice long run, not particularly fast but very relaxed (HR 122). I tried out my new Brooks Hyperion Max shoes, the Brooks offering to the carbon plated super trainer field. I didn’t run any faster but I have to say the ride was extremely smooth. I felt almost no joint stress for the entire 7+ miles. It feels good so far to be building up my mileage again and I think the Hyperion Max will be the shoe that sees me through the higher mileage days.

The weather today was also amazing. It seems the sweltering humidity of midsummer is gone. Well, we will see about that.

So it was that 💦 type of long run today. Temperature 77°, dewpoint 72°. I was on single track trails for most of this run, otherwise it would have been an even worse sweatfest. I hit 8 miles, even though it was slow and ponderous in these conditions, and I hit my mileage target for the week with one day left. This is probably summer’s last big blast with cooler conditions expected starting Monday. Some days you just persevere.

Training advice needed!!

So I've been wondering, is there any benefit to running on a 13 day cycle instead of 6? Like taking your off day every two weeks instead of once a week? If anyone has any insight on this with pros and cons please let me know I'm really interested

XC Training tomorrow!

Entered my one and only event and it’s next week! So booked a session to see some solid logs and what not. Haha.

Should be good =) have had some good flat work lessons recently so it should serve for a good foundation.

I always feel sick to my stomach after hard workouts and I don’t know why…
