#2 – 50 runs in 100 days spring edition
#36 – 100 Days Of Miles Challenge

Today I started the morning with Yinyoga. Tuesday I had planned Poweryoga 6.45 but was too tired to get up so this morning I had no excuse. It is a very good way of starting a day 🙂

It was very clear to me that  I was stiff in my back (probably because I exercised my back yesterday at the gym and ran on a treadmill) and could not do a position all the way, last week I did the same position that I didn’t think I would be able to do all the way but succeeded. And a good rule at yoga is that if you cannot do a position all the way you just step back and that is ok.

Then I had decided with my Coach K Runners buddy Eva Berg to run after breakfast so I ran to her:

Distance: 0.89 miles (1.44K), time: 9.12.9 min,
average pace: 6.23 min/k, max pace: 5.57 min/k,
VO2 Max: 24 ml/kg/min

Good timing, by the time I got to her, Eva showed up and we started the run. The weather was perfect. Both of us felt that we had put on too much clothes, both gloves and hat went off during the run and I think that it is time to just run with one jacket and no winterpants when it is around 10oC (48F). By the time I got back it has increased to 13oC (55F)  🙂

It was Eva who decided the run today and we felt that 5-6K would be ok.

Today’s discussion was to catch up what has been going on in our lifes lately and foam rolling, how much we look forward to the running technique with ”Krutgubben” tomorrow and Sunday’s Ecotrail. We wanted to find a café to have a ”fika” after the Ecotrail run. Cats and my furred animals allergy 🙂

It was perfect weather, the sun was out and the sky was blue, spring is really here. We had to stop for a group picture before it was time to run in opposite directions

So the actual run was:

Distance: 4.34 miles (6.98K), time: 43.36.1 min,
average pace: 6.14 min/k, max pace: 4.54 min/k,
VO2 Max: 25 ml/kg/min

As you can see, it is better to run with somebody, average pace higher 🙂

Total distance: 5.23 miles (8.32K), total time: 52.48.1 min
