Run

  • 6.48 kms
  • 05m /KM

RPE 4 steady run
I went harder than planned... couldn't help it. Felt a bit stiff but good overall. The new shoes felt good, will have to test them on a longer run before deciding if I'll use them for the marathon.

Bike
  • 1h 10m
  • 35.50 kms
  • 30.43 KM/hr

Mostly RPE 3 easy ride
Quads and hammies are fine to go longer but probably not harder. Lower legs, calves/shins, still sore. I'm wondering how smart it would be to run through that soreness.

Last comments about sunday's race. The more I think about it, the more I think I failed to adapt my nutrition to the course. My long workouts, those that I used to practice nutrition, were on essentially flat terrain. That nutrition plan worked wonders on flat courses, but, the energy spended on hilly terrain over a similar distance is probably much greater and I did not change my calorie intake. That led me to visit Bonktown. Needless to say that I will make sure it doesn't happen again!

Steady RPE 2 easy spin to see how the legs are doing and to get them moving again.

Will go for another easy spin tomorrow and will try running on friday. I'm hoping to get back to a normal training schedule by sunday or monday.

New shoes!
 
Finally found some shoes that should fit better than just "ok". The width is 4E! That's freakin' wider than my car!!! Can't wait to try them.
