SEPTEMBER Training Recap
The first thing you will notice about the month is the severe drop in running millage coupled with an in crease in bike and swim volume. I competed in The North Face Endurance Challenge (Madison) 50K in September and this was the last race of my ultra season. I had run on the course several times during the month of August so I knew what to expect. Unexpected, however, was my inability to walk with out crushing pain in my right knee 7 days prior to the race. After several chriporactic appointments, ART sessions, a lot of time on the roller, and very little in the way of movement, I managed to show up for the race with the ability to walk and hopefully run pain free. I raced conservatively and still managed to finish in the top 15 (12), with a 50k PR. After the race I called it a season. Stay tuned for a post related to my diet, VESPA, and some of the things I changed to include more fat and eliminate carbs, to increase my fat burning efficiency, to enhance race day performance and recovery!
