I put in a 2 hour long run yesterday and felt proud of my accomplishment. I ran most of the time, the humidity was not as bad as last weeks long run and I ventured into some new trails that are pretty hilly. I also did better mentally than the previous week. Anything more than an hour running feels like a long time but this week was easier. I even did it without the Ipod.
The best part of the run was the 15 minute ice bath at the end. My hips and quads were quite sore. I am a fan of the ice bath and will try and have one after every long run. I feel good today with the exception that I am tired from the 1 hour bike ride that I went on last night.
The plan for the next week is a big week (35-40 miles) and then to take a rest week the week after before getting back to increasing the long runs before the 50K on Labor day and putting in the miles. I would like to do a 3 hour long run 2 weeks before.
