Core O'Clock 20:00 [2]
Running 50:00 [3] 9.5 km (5:16 / km) +250m 4:39 / km
Recovery day in the Wiss. Legs are still very beat up.
The more I run here, the more I like the Wissahickon. For training, aesthetic appeal, and destressing from the city.
It's got enough hills to get in some serious hill training, but not so many hills that you end up running too slowly. Perfect to prepare for hilly or soft-ground terrains.
The 50 miles of trails provide loads of variability. And Forbidden Drive is a great option for flat, fast running.
It's not great to develop the technical aspect of orienteering. But then again, it's easy to get to know a map too well. I've heard that Daniel Hubmann does only physical training when he's at home.
I can focus on the technical aspect at training camps. But the Wiss prepares my body. I suppose I'm just grateful that Ben Franklin didn't get his wish of damming the creek and creating a reservoir for the city.
