I’m pleasantly surprised that I find a real enjoyment in running, before deciding to do this adventure race I wasn’t a runner, last time I ran any distance was in high school and that is because I had no choice.
When I started running outside about a month and half ago, really found it enjoyable. To put things in focus my running is 4km to 9 km so far so not doing 12k or bigger yet but still enjoying it. I have been doing one to two road runs followed by a longer trail run on the weekend. Since my during the week running is at 5am I’m keeping to the road and really find myself loving the peace and quite of it.
I have had a pair of Salomon XT wings for almost 9 months and love theses shoes they fit nice, good traction, don’t hurt or blister my feet so far. I have bone spurs on both my heals from my ski racing boots and most shoes will rub but not these shoes. I plan to post a review of them in May after my race.
Did have to take 5 days off to allow for some recovery of my knee’s but returned this morning with an easy 4k run. Knees felt good and plan to starting to work back into my training plan over the next week. focusing more on warming up and slower progression to see if that helps prevent a recurrence of this old ski injury.
