A Passion for Running

the week of the (now) not-so-dreaded jump

passion for running category: running on Sunday, November 26 2006

I’m through the jump week and I must say I finished it off feeling like a machine. Today’s run in the unbelievable cold was day seven of the jump and it felt tremendous. I was on ultra-glide in the snow.

I had a 15 minute warmup + 30 minute hard + 15 minute cooldown planned but I was feeling so good I extended the “hard” part of the run by five minutes and then reduced speed ever so slightly for the last 10 minutes.

I feel fantastic heading into week #2 of this eight week segment of the “Andrew/Lydiard Program”.

Edit: I just added up the numbers and it turns out I ran just a hair under 60 miles for the week.

Great job on the running. I’m signing up for a marthon clinic in January. The plan is the Vancouver Marathon? They are planning a bus trip from here to there, with a group from the Running Room.

By the way you look mighty cute in that black mask.
