running (YMCA Trail) 57:57 [4] 5.55 mi (10:26 / mi)
shoes: Hoka Mach Black/Red
After 300 miles I don't mind these Hoka Mach's...the main problem I had with them was when I had issues with dragging right toe these shoes were the worst ones I had due to design of the toe...cool but little wind. Back at the Y...so hills two days in a row...the Y Trail is very hilly on back side. And even though it is same trail...going 'backwards' is psychologically easier...going 'regular' direction you finish with .3 uphill...gradual to pretty steep (considering your finishing a 2.75 lap.
5 min warm up of leg swirls, kicks; lite stretching.
Added .05 to first loop so it was 2.8 rather than 2.75.
2.8M 31:01 (11:05 pace)
2.75M 26.55 (9:48 pace)
Midday: 45 minutes of free arm weights; floor core; arm and leg bands, standing leg kicks and swirls...all directions. Planks, bridges, leg raises.
