Week of October 11
Monday
Resting HR 56. Sleep score 85 Good. Body battery 78/5.
125th Boston Marathon
The best weekend ever. I never thought I would be able to get to the start line, let alone finish. This wasn’t my fastest marathon but it was my best effort.
My left quad started going away at mile 12 and the wheels fell off at mile 17. I’ve never been this sore in my life.
The first few miles were filled with doubt, I was constantly thinking that my right calf would give out. After 6 or 7 miles I briefly entertained the idea of going sub 4:00.
Relative effort 247. 4:22:59.
Niggles: everything hurt.
Tuesday
Resting HR 67. Sleep score 17 Poor. Body battery 26/5.
I limped around the Freedom Trail. Of all the crazy things I’ve done in my life, nothing has ever made me as sore as the Boston marathon did. I don’t recommend the 4 week taper.
