Today I did my usual 6 mile outside run. The first half is mostly uphill, just a very slight incline at first but ending in about a 4% incline. Of course, that means that all the way back it is downhill, my favorite. I finished the run in 45:15, a very good time, all things considered. My legs did not feel overly tired. After yesterday's run I was concerned that my legs would be tired today but they actually felt relatively fresh.
I know this concept of "active recovery" is not well known neither is there scientific merit behind it at this point (there is evidence that overall an active recovery to injuries is better than just lounging around on the couch though), but I think it is going very well so far. We will see how the next two weeks go, but thus far I am quite optimistic.
After a quick change I cycled 29.08 miles in 1:31:42. A 19.1 mph average.
Total running miles for the week = 32
Total cycling miles for the week = 47.08 (including 18 miles on the stationary bike)
