Energy levels were pretty good this morning for a post long-run day, but I am feeling the expected beat-down on my muscles, ligaments, and tendons from the faster long run from yesterday, and thus am taking it very easy to let things recover.
7 very easy effort miles on the treadmill at 10 min/mile. I did the first mile in water shoes just for kicks to simulate shoeless running which is a fun thing to do once in awhile, but I'm definitely not committing to 'real' shoeless running during marathon buildups as it's too easy to strain my calf (I've done this before!)
Watched 1.5 episodes of a new Netflix drama, subtitled from Brazil, "The 3%", which was surprisingly decent. Nice to get a good treadmill shoe to watch when I'm indoors.
PM: 5 miles, 9min/mile recovery treadmill run
Energy was good for this run; kept it slower as I have some tight hamstrings that I'm saving for tomorrow's speed workout, and residual leg fatigue. Started at 10:00/mile, then quickly dropped it down to 8:40/mi, averaging about 9min/mile by the end.
