Yesterday I ran for the first time since getting COVID. 1 hour in Zone 2. I hit 146 HR right at the 1 hour mark. 10 min/mi. 6 miles. I'm liking this slower pace for my easy runs. I feel less beat up. I'm definitely excited about building a base. Staying healthy is the key for me, so I have to be careful. I'm 40 now, and had a string of injuries in the past 5 years.
A lot of my work is going to be on the treadmill, but I think I am going to force myself to get outside one day a week. Running in the cold is not such a big deal, and it'd be smart to get some ground under my feet.
I'll probably continue some refinement today on Cronster. I feel like I have clarified my goals and that has really helped to make getting things done easier for me.
If all goes well, I'm going to do the White Lake Ultras 24 Hour. A low key, New England event like that will be the perfect introduction to that kind of distance.
