Today I squeezed in a run at lunchtime. I had a meeting in the afternoon that required travel, but Flash came down early and we got out for a quick sprint. We covered 2.2 miles in 16:58. This is a pretty big deal to me since these miles average out to 7:43 miles. That is just about as fast as I have completed anything over 2 miles. It felt good to get out for a shorter distance and really open it up. I really don’t feel it in my legs. That is good seeing as the weekend runs have really been pushing me.
Flash continued on for a longer run as I split off to head back to the lockers. That guy can run like Duce. It would be interesting to get them together for a run. They would probably doubly kick my tail but it would be worth it.
One of the new terms I am reading about in Thrive is the concept of a weight to power ratio. This concept makes sense to me, but is not one I am familiar working with. It is essentially the amount of power per pound you are able to deliver over a distance. I will be looking at this to see if it is a metric I can incorporate into my training or if it is a bit advanced or outside my philosophy of training.
With some serious help from my wife I did well this week removing stress from what I eat. I have had more restful sleep, am feeling a bit more energy, and am feeling really good overall. I hope I can turn this into habit also. The 30 minute clean after dinner is still in effect. There seems to be good balances being made.
