Taper week. Just a few runs to attempt to completely recover the legs yet increase my fitness by resting more.
Upper body work/core/abs
5 mi treadmill, 1%, easy pace
Oct. 9th
No lifting. Not even bodyweight work this week.
8 mi around work/mostly flat
Oct. 10th
6 mi around my place with some mild hills, moderate pace.
Upper body work, core
Oct.11th
5 miles with Highland hashers. Pace was a little pushing it but I felt fresh and it was only 5, nothing that could hurt me for Sat.
Oct. 12th
Walk the first 1.2 miles of the course and back with Julian who drove me the 6 hours up (and back) to Titusville. We discovered the old bridge above the bike path was leaking some battery-fluid looking fluid from its rafters. Looks like someone removed it the next day though.
Oct. 13th
Oil Creek 100M in 21:27:07. 17.7k gain. Ran 90% at 12/mi pace for the first 100k, some groin cramping during the first 20mi so I held back on the pace slightly in the first half. No issues with heartburn until the very end which in the past was constant and intense. GI stress minimal. Surreal course. Race report to follow.
Oct. 14th
Complete rest
TOTAL RUNNING MILEAGE FOR THE WEEK: 124 MI
