Sunday, Long run day. Today I set out on a run walk at a 4:1 ration of running to walking. My body responded well to the change as I have been doing my short distances all week at that ratio. I went out for 60 minutes and accomplished a 5.7 mile run according to google maps. The hills beat my ass today near the end, I felt as though I was barely trudging along as I slogged through 4 minutes of an up hill. I assume it gets better over time.
I had about 12 oz of water and my protein shake about 30 mins prior to the run and a shot of Odwalla Blueberry B vitamin mix 5 minutes before the run as I knew I was not going to have anything for 60 mins. I think that if I were to go any longer I would want a little something to keep the sugars up as I was shaking a bit when I got home, my body's way of saying low sugar.
My next week shakes down like this:
mon: xt (light lifting, Non impact workout) or walk
tues: run 35 minutes
wed: xt or walk
thurs: run 35 mins (I also have a personal training session this day)
fri: xt / walk
sat: off day
sun: long run, 60 mins
Here is the route for this morning, now I am going to be late for work.
