4th day legs recovered

4th 12 miler felt very good...legs good push off and breathing good. The fourth day is usually a good one for me. The cold bath and extra carbs may have had an impact on my recovery. I started drinking a carb drink after the runs to refuel the glycogen stores, which are becoming depleted. I was a lot faster today 1:41:00 (same effort) The first three runs were 1:45:58 Monday, 1:46:08 Tuesday, and a 1:47:00 Wednesday. Well off to have another cold bath to ease inflammation.

ran 12 today on day 3

Went out 10km on the trails and came back the same way. Legs were the tired part today....building some strength! Breathing not too bad, but similar to yesterday.

To get the inflammation down I hit the cold bathtub. Hopefully the legs will be recovered tomorrow after a good night sleep, lots of carbs/rehydration etc.

Two 12 milers complete

2nd 12.4 miler went well today. Adding 2 miles a day to mileage looks simple on paper. I seemed to be unable to get enough air today so must have been working the aerobic system. Didn't feel that for the 12 miler yesterday. 2 days of 6 complete. The dirt grass etc. is much easier on the legs. The roads last year when I did an 80 mile week, beat up my legs beyond repair hence a lot of ice baths.
