It definitely gets easier.Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11308509561834397951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217670599100952035.post-69172361063354609732011-09-12T19:48:57.399-04:002011-09-12T19:48:57.399-04:00Truthfully, my legs get way more wasted during a t...Truthfully, my legs get way more wasted during a three mile fast run than during a long slow run. I suspect it's the opposite for you - and surely, it's a function of the way we've been training.<br /><br />More than any muscle soreness, my joints do feel creaky after running long. Maybe it's just psychological, but I take a cold bath after a long run, and I think it helps. I guess it's the same theory as icing after an injury - you want to reduce the blood flow. <br /><br />Nope, I've never put together a mileage chart! Just running what I feel like. I may get a little more systematic when getting ready for the marathon, but haven't really decided yet.Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11308509561834397951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217670599100952035.post-61365413674130636532011-09-12T14:22:48.244-04:002011-09-12T14:22:48.244-04:00Damn! 40 miles in a week.

I suspect that only 25 (only?) is probably my high week over the last few months.<br /><br />Do you do anything in particular to recover after a long run? I personally find my legs to be pretty wasted after a 8-10 mile run, much less a 25 mile one.<br /><br />Curious: did you come up with a mileage chart for your training (e.g., 10 miles on Mon, rest on Tuesday, 6 miles on Wed., etc.)? I'm pondering if I need to do this once I need to start putting something like this together.<br /><br />Keep us updated on your training progress as you go!gibsonmeigshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094122509371844728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217670599100952035.post-1059304981597414522011-09-12T13:30:11.964-04:002011-09-12T13:30:11.964-04:00both you and todd have been hammering it this year...both you and todd have been hammering it this year. todd with the pace and you with the distance. i'm incredibly impressed with this...<br /><br />40 miles in a week is a LOT as far as i'm concerned! how many runs did you do?<br /><br />any goal time for the 50K? btw, i still think it's absolutely hilarious (read: nuts) that your FIRST ever race is going to be a 50K, a distance you have yet to run. if you would have said it to me 2 years ago, i would have not taken you seriously... now i not only know you'll finish, but am curious to watch as YOU get faster too!erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02002087469616786196noreply@blogger.com
