Central Park Bridle Path
Solid 5 mile recovery run this morning on the extended bridle path. Legs were a bit stiff to start … not a surprise given 12 miler yesterday on asphalt, but after ~800 meters I felt normalcy. I ran opposite a pack of elite runners training for the NYC Marathon. I believe they were led by Olympian John Henwood (21st in 2008 NYC Marathon). Pleased that today’s effort marked the biggest mileage week to date (38.2). A very nice beginning to becoming a serious distance runner (post-NYC Half). Off season weekly goal is 35-45 miles per week with long run progressing 1 mile per week … next week 13. However, I will also need to vary my routes not just day to day, but also within a run (e.g. mixing bridle path, reservoir, asphalt loops w/in a daily run).
