Definitely feeling recovered from last weekend’s marathon. The last couple of days of the week my heart rate has been in a a really good range during my runs. In fact, the heart rate has been better than good. It is down a good 8 to 10 beats per minute than it was a couple of months ago running at the same pace. It is a great indicator of my fitness. Especially with only a week”s recovery after Starved Rock.
Had a real good run today. No heart rate monitor, but just ran easy by feel. Ran down on the I & M Canal Towpath from the McLinden/Cemetary Roads Trailhead. Headed west to Morris and back, exchanged bottles then went east to almost McKinley Woods and back for 20+ mile run. Felt good for pretty much the whole run with a just a little quad aching in the late stages. It is really nice running along the I & M Towpath. Plus it is exactly the kind of running i will be doing for the Hennepin Hundred. I expect to be hitting the towpath a number of times throughout the summer. This should be a heavy week of mileage.
