Training Log Archive: ultra_amy

Easy hike behind the house - to overlook at 4-way and back - with Brian. My legs felt tired, but no particular pain. Ready to resume training soon!

No idea the distance (yes, that's right, we have no idea the distance of this ultra!). But, did the Pittsfield Peaks Ultra. It went well - I felt great and steady throughout the race - no stomach issues, and the legs were ready to roll all day. Finished an hour faster than last year, and I think the course was longer than last year. Finished an hour behind Brian (which is fast for me, but to be fair he wasn't going 110%).

Did nothing - recovery day! :)

Ok - so I did something stupid. I had the opportunity to run a portion of the VT100 course (mile 23 to 47) and I had to take it (thinking of the big picture, not the 50 I had less than 48 hours later). We did a relaxed pace (course clearing as we went) and I enjoyed the run. I totally blanked several portions of the course from last year, but I guess the early miles passed before I started to pay attention.

Again - did nothing. There was some stretching, but there was also going to bed early! :)

Easy 1.5 mile run at Reservoir - just wanted to shake out the legs before my massage. Did some stretching afterwards also.

Easy/slow hike behind the house w/ Brian. Legs felt tired, but ok.
