Ran in the foothills again with LC. I used the garmin to measure the elevation change over distance for the route we ran today and it seems like we gained 450 ft in about 2 miles, with the most steep portion occurring in the second mile. This should be a good area to train for Robie because I think it will be a similar grade of incline, maybe slightly less since Robie is stretched out over a longer distance. Also got a new pair of Saucony Progrid Guide 3 shoes which are analogous (according to the Idaho running sales lady) to the Mizuno Wave Inspire shoes that I have been wearing. Today was the first run in these shoes and so far so good. |
