I set out for a bit over 4 but I only got 2.5 miles in. Around mile 1 I started walking up a hill(which I haven't done in years) and went about a quarter mile after I started running again and turned around. It sucks but I'm not too bummed out about it, just hoping tomorrow is better!

It was also sloppy and slushy here but the sun was out and it was about 36°F so it was pretty nice weather.

I contemplated this concept quite a bit today.

I walk up hills a lot, even in races. (I do tend to do a lot of races with crazy steep and/or long hills tho). But even on rolling hills, I will often switch from run to power walk to try to maintain iso power.

That said, Saturday I had the same kind of run you described— although i started in earnest and had some fast parts mixed in with zone 1 in the first third — I basically hit the wall and limped (walked) home even though the last part was basically flat.

Still happy with my 15k trail run at 4*C because I still got about 75% of the hardest part of my home trail done… setting up Sunday’s workout…

Thought about running.

Decided (correctly) that date night was more important.

Just mountain biking for me.

I suppose I was “tortising” the local MTB race.
I volunteered to ride “sweep” behind the slowest rider in each category.

I set PRs for my two slowest times EVER on that particular 2.5 mile loop. Not just slowest times on a bike— slowest times bike/run/hike!

I guess they turned out to be a 23 minute mile pace for the kiddos followed by a much faster 13-14 minute mile pace for the beginner men.

10 miles ridden total. No time left for a run after all that business.

Big dump of snow yesterday, and a small dump this evening. So just 30 minutes on the dreadmill.
