Does a flat route still count for Monkey Training? (Read 380 times)

    Knowing the HHFM has a few hills, I've been planning all my runs on pretty much the most hilly routes I can come up with here in Manchester. It's definitely not like running in PWP, but more hilly than I usually run. It seems to me that I probably should run some runs on fairly flat courses to reduce the stress on my body and prevent injury. I'm able to run 4 times/week and on a good week 5 times. I'm thinking once a week it wouldn't hurt to run a flat route. Anybody else thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?

        Thanks Jeff...I stalked your running log - looks like your comeback is continuing. Achilles still feel ok?

          Yep. Probably did too much yesterday, but the second run was slow with wifey. I'm heading out for a nice jog right now. Stay consistent! I'll be watching your log, too.

            Yeah Tony, I would throw at LEAST one flat run in there a week. Probably more.

              I run (usually) every day and have 3 flats a week...Sometimes four if I'm feeling tweaky or if my long run was in PWP. But then, my hilly runs are all in PWP, so I may need more flat runs. But I'm with Thunder--I'd say probably more than one a week.

                More than one a week.

                How do you keep your feet on the ground, when you know you were born to fly?

                  I ran a flat 10 mile route last night and it felt good. My legs feel pretty rested today. Tanya - good point - your "hilly" run in PWP is a lot more hilly... This is my "hilly" 10 mile route

                        You're overthinking this whole monkey thing. Just run a bunch and you'll be fine.

                            Something just drifted through the room. There was just a hint of irony in it.

                              Nope - I just want to get to the start uninjured...and get to the finish before you do. Tongue Big grin

                                Good luck with that. That makes two of us!
