Subject: My first 50K I ran the H.U.F.F (33 miles ) on Saturday. Ran 2 laps (22 miles ) then walked most of 3rd lap due to stomach issues. Once I threw up, I felt GREAT and ran the rest of the way. My question is this...why wasn't I sore during or after the race? My first marathon (Disney ), I was seriously sore for a few days afterwards. First trail marathon (huge hills ) was sore even during the race. Possible reasons why I wasn't sore - what do you think?: 1. Just getting more experienced at longer runs. 2. Back-to-back long runs training for the 50K. 3. Air temperature (15-25 degress the whole time ). 4. Most of the race (but not all ) was on trails vs pavement. (I did not sit in ice water afterwards ) AF |
