September 25 - October 2, 2011 Training

Sunday 9-25-11 

Griffith Park, Mt. Lee 

Distance: 13.36 mi 

Time: 2:28:32 

Avg Pace: 11:07 min/mi 

Elevation Gain: 2,264 ft 

Better than expected run. Have not run over 10 miles in 23 days. Was surprisingly fresh. Happy to know strength up with shorter runs. 

Monday 9-26-11 

Elysian Trail 

Distance: 4.58 mi 

Time: 48:02 

Avg Pace: 10:29 min/mi 

Elevation Gain: 519 ft 

Recovery run. Not a ton of energy.  

Tuesday 9-27-11

Distance:	2.70 mi
Time:	26:11
Avg Pace:	9:42 min/mi
Elevation Gain:	122 ft

  

Road run.  Tested new CEP compression calf sleeves.  Seemed interesting, not sure what it's doing yet.  Had a PF acute pain in rt foot.  I think the scar tissue broke again.

Thursday 9-29-11

Distance:	5.39 mi
Time:	50:41
Avg Pace:	9:24 min/mi
Elevation Gain:	550 ft

Back on the trails. Trial #2 for CEP calf sleeves. Conclusion is that I will reserve them for recovery only. Lost some stability in the knees with them on while running. New trail socks trial (Asics trabuco wool qtr.) worked fantastic. I thought that road and trail socks would perform similarly, but was converted.  Less pressure in the sock toebox.

Friday 9-30-11

3.5 miles total.  Ran 1 mile to see how "fast" I could do it.  Ran 7:13 on the dirt into a headwind.  Thought I could run 3 of these, turns out, 1 is enough.  Interesting training though.

Elevation Gain:	2,710 ft

Have run in these four times now, and love the "Maximal"-ness of them. I am a convert to the Hoka!
