3 hours of snow mobile trails today after yesterdays 3 hours up and down Green Mountain, reminded me what my legs feel like at the end of a hundred miler. I had almost forgotten. I was still running, mind you. But it was the way I imagine I'll be running when I am in my eighties.
Tonight strength work.
Laurel, 3 more hours of running after the triple ascent the day before? I say your legs have enery right to be tired. BTW, did you say you were doing Pineland Farms or is it to close to Massanutten? I'm toying with the idea of doing the 50K dispite being seriously undertrained for it.
ReplyDeleteI won't be doing Pineland this year. I ran there the first year they held the event, and should probably go back again some year. You should go for it. Undertrained or not you have it in you!
ReplyDeleteLaurel, when (how) do you recover? Reading about your workouts makes me want to take a rest day. ;-)
ReplyDeleteRest is on the way! This is a tough training week for me, but with less mileage. Then, time to taper for Massanutten!
ReplyDeleteTired legs? My "fresh" legs couldn't keep up Green MT! I could only imagine how fast you could run up Green Mt on "fresh" legs, take a book and wait for me at the top please!
