Week 6: Long Run
We had a really great run last week. Our coach (Jim) for this season wants to do more trail runs. Jim likes the softer surfaces of trails especially for longer distances. We'll have a couple more long runs on trails this season. This was the first one this season. I've not done much trail running, mostly at Discovery Park, but Lake Youngs is a much longer trail. There were a couple of sections that should have been tougher (stretches of mile long inclines) but I was just chugging along. Felt great to be out there this week.
The only tricky part was this steep incline before the finish. That part hurt but I just gritted my teeth and got myself up the hill.
Super good run. Really enjoyed myself.
