This Saturday is the Deerfield Half Marathon, the weather is looking good and my legs are feeling ok. It looks like I am going to run it, the 10k that is. Here is a Video of the course.
Looks Like it will be a real Challenge, tough course.
I took a good week off from running and since I started up again I have felt great, the issues I was having with my legs are a thing of the past now. It was my legs holding me back my cardio fitness wasn't an issue, now it’s the opposite. I need to work on building my cardio capacity now that my legs can handle running.
I have run 25 miles so far this week that is the most I have ever run in a week EVER!
It feels great to be able to run everyday, I'm trying to increase my distance each day and so far I have. At the moment I am trying out the Galloway Method
I am fairly worn out after having ran the most I have in a week so I am not sure about it, Saturday I plan to just run the 10k, then I will go back to training using the Galloway Method and see how it goes. It does help to keep my heart rate down and build cardio fitness and that is what I need to work most on at this point. I will post again Saturday or Sunday about the race.
