On this day I tried to emulate the fact that I will be running a leg about every 10 – 12 hours. In the morning, at 5:45 am, I did 4.49 miles on the treadmill at the gym. In the evening, at 5:50 pm after work, I did 2.6 miles on the street. I’ll need to do this a couple more times during my training.
This is my first training once selected for the Caring Eagles Red Team. I started with, and continue to use, the treadmill before work.
