Jan 31 Workout
9 degrees this morning, and since I have a race next weekend (my first ever) I thought I should get outside. I wore a fleece hat, sunglasses, a Patagonia base layer, with a fleece jacket and rain jacket on top, and rain pants. I was warm, but had to unzip the jackets after about 10 minutes [Try the fleece vest next time]. It was a shock to breath in the cold air, but I used a fleece headband over my mouth and this helped.
2 miles total, 20 minutes. I ran 8 minutes, and then walked 2 minutes. The run/walk worked for me. My legs are sore from yesterday’s gym session, but sore in a good way.

Hi Mark,
ReplyDeleteI attempted to leave you a comment yesterday but it looks like it didn't work. Are you going to be running in the Stillwater half or full marathon? Just wondering....I am running in the half marathon:)
Great job getting outside! It takes trail and error to figure out what to wear in what conditions. Go for lots of really thin, wicking layers that you can adjust for the wind and temps. Thanks for the swim advice on my blog. I need it!
ReplyDeleteJulie,
ReplyDeleteI am doing the Stillwater 1/2. It will be my first 1/2 ever. I plan to do 5k and 8k races before the big race so I have some race day experience. I only started running in January, so I may be taking on a bit much with only 5 months of training. But my plan is to access my fitness and then do a run/walk combo for the race.
