Sunday's Distance Run 14.4 Miles

Time for my monthly distance run. I averaged just over 10 minutes per mile and held all the splits to a consistent time.

The weather was high 30's and this time I made it an evening run. Stepped off about 45 minutes before sundown and ran a new route I mapped on google maps. This time instead of an out and back, I did a loop.

The final mile included some hill climbs up to my beginning elevation. The quads really didn't like switching from rolling hills to constant hill climbing but it's good to teach the muscles how to transition from one set of movements to another, especially when Mudder training.

The more familiar the muscles are to switching the blood flow to where it's required next, the faster your body will get at making the transition.
