I think all runners have this thought/fear at some point or another. I had it last night, laying in bed. I had done a good tempo run earlier in the day:2 WU, 8×5 minutes at tempo (6:10 pace), 30 secs rest, 3 CD. I was pretty happy with the workout. I can tell I’m starting…
After Sunday’s long/hard marathon pace run, my quads were pretty beat up. I had run for 10 days in a row & my legs were telling me that. Haven’t been that sore in a while! Usually when I’m beat up like that, I recover pretty quickly — usually just a day or so of rest…
