On this day:

5.5 Miles Easy, untimed


I went for a run around the canal loop in my newer NB 832's in an attempt to run a bit of the speedwork session out of my legs. Holy Jesuits, do my calves ache! It's like the worst DOMS I've ever had in my life, worse than after my debut marathon, at least that was my thighs and not a muscle of the lower limb. Kept the pace down, but ran a few 2-3 minute stretches up on my forefoot, which is actually surprisingly difficult in a shoe as padded as this! The NB 834 is much more suited to the task of forefoot running as the NB 832 seems to make you run on your toes (subtle difference between toes and forefoot, one bad, one good...) due to the heel raise present. I'm going to run tomorrow's long run in an 'old-school' fashion to give my calves a break methinks. I need to let the DOMS settle down a little really.
