Running Summary Oct. 5th – 11th 2014

This week I ran 41.8 miles. I won’t be talking about the 5k on Sunday. If you are interested the in-depth post can be found here. It took several days to feel good on my normal runs. I wouldn’t have thought a 5k would have left me so sore. For the next few weeks I won’t be doing any speed work just keeping my distance up.

I’ve been thinking of starting to run commuting in the spring. So on Saturday I did an 11.58 mile run into work. The run went well considering the hills. The run into work is no problem, the full distance will be a little over 6 miles. The run home starts with over a mile of hill with almost 500 ft of elevation gain. Luckily run commuting will give me an 8 hour break between runs unlike this test.
