I ran 10.1 miles with Sasha this morning, finishing in 1:12:50. We ran 10 quarter repeats on the trail with uneven rest between repeats ranging from 200m to over half a mile as we were just picking the best spots on the trail to run them. Splits were 77, 74, 74, 73 (high), 72, 69 (high), 75 (high), 75, 73, 71 (high). The goal was to practice running at 5:00 pace without stressing the body too much, and to practice running relaxed. Some of the repeats were a little fast, but for the most part I feel that we did a good job of staying relaxed and hitting a good pace. PM: 5 miles in 40:15. My right calf is feeling a little tight and sore. I used to feel this all the time in my left calf, but never in the right. I am hoping that this means the back exercises I am doing are actually helping my back to realign itself.
