Training Run: Willow Guzzle

I wrote earlier: 10 mile training run distance serves as a litmus test to ones ability in phase development and peak racing performance. Today’s run is on my Willow Guzzle route that I ran comfortably this a.m. on a warmer day and a higher mileage base than a month ago. The time is slower by about a minute, not a concern. No HR as the chest strap started chafing on my back so I will give it a rest.

Tensed muscles also waste energy. So, I wonder if I tense up when the pesky deer fly lands on my chest and starts biting?

Training: AM – Willow Guzzle 9.75M, 7:37 pace, 1:14:18, ?HR, 75 sunny
