Looks like winter is finally here. Considering that I ran pretty much every day in October, November and December it is quite amazing to think that I haven't run in the rain since last February. But I think that lucky streak is about to end......
The forecast is for some big storms; It calls for rain, rain and more rain. Also lots of wind. Managed to get an easy 10 miler in this morning before the first storm got here, but it was already getting blustery, and the skies have just opened up at about 1pm.
Yesterday was an easy 7 miles with some strides thrown in. Strides help with increased legspeed. You basically accelerate for 50 meters then hold the pace for 50 meters, then jog a minute or two to recover, then repeat. Do this 5-10 times towards the end of an easy run.
Tomorrow it is supposed to rain all day and the wind is going to be about 30mph. Not good conditions for pace running so I will probably just run easy for 7-8 miles, trying to dodge between the heavier downpours. Hopefully the wind will ease a little on Saturday and I can do the fast stuff then up at the track.
I'm really hoping it's not too wet for Sunday's long run (19 miles).
