Notes
Easy/Recovery Run
42 degrees. SPk to Cottswold & back. Stiff headwind in face mile 1, 4, 5, 6 (somehow the wind in my face going up Sharon & on Sharon Amity is the same headwind when I went the other way!). First mile my legs felt tired & my left Achilles felt sore. After I stopped at 1.2 miles to put water bottle in tree and resumed, legs felt refreshed & did not feel Achilles again. Got on Sharon and focus was to keep things in the easy zone. Checked each of my splits to ensure I stayed in the easy zone. Focused on form -- short quick strides, hips in a strong position, torquing body. When I saw the 8 min split in mile 5 (down Sharon and this felt easy), throttled it back further.
