Last Week in Running: October 27, 2019. Recovery Week

Since I ran the Columbus Marathon on Sunday, this is a short running week. No running on Monday and Tuesday and let my legs rest. The week was chilly, which was a welcomed change from the midday heat of Sunday’s marathon finish line.

Wednesday I went out for a short four mile run in the park, and kept it in the park where it is mostly flat. And I was sore af. My watch crashed at the end and Garmin Connect only took 4 miles (Strava didn’t make it to 4 miles 🤬). So 4.0 in 38:28 (9:37 min/mile pace).

Thursday was another 4 mile run, but a fair bit of the DOMS was worn off and I was able to go a little faster. I took this out of the park a little in the subdivison next to it to get some more hills. 4.09 miles in 36:01 (8:48 min/mile pace).

Friday was the longest run of the week with five miles. I ran this mostly in the subdivision next to the park. Ran 5.11 miles in exactly 45 minutes (8:48 min/mile).

That’s it. One of my shortest LWIR reports. 13.2 miles.
