Training Summary Sept 13 - Sept 19

86 miles
3022' vertical
12 hrs. 20 min.

54 of 86 miles on trails

Solid week with a steady sub 8 min per mile M/L 15 miler, back to back 21 milers for the first time and took a complete rest day. Having some issues with my right knee/leg. Some intermittent stiffness/pain around the knee. Not sure if some of it is from getting the right knee beat up from falls over the weeks and months. Iced it few times after running and will do some hip stretching to be sure it isn't some IT band shortening. Entered the New River 50k on 10/9 and may run in the Salem Lake 30k next weekend as a training run.

  2. Thanks Ei. I think I already read that article in some publication(but can't remember where)....
    Don't let SK read that, she worries bout stuff like that. BTW, guess you may have seen that I'm entered in the Umstead 100 in April over your way.
