Achilles Rehab

Toe yoga

I've been studying how Georgia Hunter Bell maintains elite middle distance status while doing most of her aerobic stuff on the bike. Cycling builds the aerobic engine and the run focuses on speed and efficiency. I don't know how well this would transfer to marathon training, but for the mile to 10k, and maybe HM, it should work for any of us.

3 Q Runs and 4 Rides???

Lunch E Run

I had a change of venue, went to Victor Ashe and ran some of the CX course. It was good to try something different. I never really felt great but I glad I got it done.
