- 1:15pm - marky mark (short) + - 7mi
Did a shorter version of Marky Mark (cutting off JP and the woods). The beginning of the run didn’t feel too great, but by the time I got to the Res I was feeling awesome. Went straight to see the doctor who said I can start doing strides and other speedy stuff. Then went to Bruce and laid out a nice plan for the next few weeks. I’ll start doing strides every other day while slightly increasing my mileage: for now alternating between 4 and 6 miles each day with alternative thrown in as well. Next week I’ll increase to 5 and 7, and by New Years 7ish should be the usual. I won’t do any real track workouts until January. The goal is to be in decent race shape by the end of February.
So obviously I went and did 4×100m strides on the track and then mosied home. I’m really surprised by how good the strides felt; really fluid and not the least bit awkward.
