Training Log Archive: Sandy

Red course at White Clay Creek (DVOA local event). Things were going pretty well until about 2/3's of the way through at which point my legs pretty much died, I rolled my ankle and then I was sloppy out of a control and ended up in an area with a ton of downed trees and couldn't get to the trail...

Out to Valley Forge and back; somewhere between 25 and 30 miles. It's mostly flat except the first 2 miles downhill and then the last 2 miles back up to the ridge; it's a paved trail but I use my mountain bike anyway. Need to inflate the tires when I do this! Took it easy but my legs were beat on the way back.

Trying to increase how far I can jog. Mile splits on the main gravel trail were 10:18, 9:46, 9:10 and 9:56.

17 minutes jogging in the woods and on trails going down and 14 minutes walking and jogging up out of the valley back home.

3.5 miles at 10 min pace along the big flat trail at the bottom of the valley
~2 miles hike/jog/walk down and back up
