50 miles this week! This is only the second time that I have had a 50 mile week. They were slow and a lot of them were ugly but I am happy I could run every one of them. I met Kimmy on the JRP at 5:00am both of us injured and not sure how this run would go. The first 9 were ok hard, but do able. At about mile 11 the wheels started to fall off for Kim. She wanted me to go ahead but to tell you the truth I was not much better. We got back to the cars at 14 miles and Kimmy was done. I went out for 2.5 more and they were so slow I started to mentally doubt what I was doing. I hurried home to babysit my grandson but when I got home he was not there. I evaluated how I felt and decided I would go for the full 20 mile. 3.5 miles later on the treadmill I am a happy camper. Hamstring is not better by any means but I think it is just weak at this point not injured. I can not seem to hold any speed at all. Do you guys think the best way to strengthen my hammy is lots of slow miles or should I add some speed work in the mix? splits for first 16 (warning they are ugly!!!!!) 9:09, 9:34, 9:35, 9:25, 9:31, 9:33, 9:28, 9:47, 9:24, 9:23, 9:26, 9:44, 10:41, 9:53, 9:29, 10:01
