Week 1 Report

5 mile run today at a 15 min pace. I felt really good this run, especially for the first one of the season. I won't be "fueling" on any run that is less than 2 hours. That includes energy chews and gels. I still plan to drink Liquid IV on any run longer than 1.5 hours. That also includes eating breakfast before my runs.

I also had some great PT runs thos week. I have a great workout schedule:

Mon: Vo2 Max Run. This is an interval type run. The speed intervals are super fast and help my body use oxygen more efficiently.

Tues: Strength training. I do different exercises such as pushups, lounges and crunches.

Wed: Tempo run. The intervals are slower than the Vo2 max runs but much longer, like 2 or 3 minutes longer.

Thurs: Hike. The hikes are only 1-3 miles in this program but the grades are mostly 10-15%.

Sat: Long runs with the group.

So excited for everyone to come in May!
