March 2010 Stats

Photo of the Day

I'm still going with this, tough at times this month it was a real struggle (and I think the quality of photos reflects that). I was super-busy with work, and busy on top of that with marathon training, oh, and cycling season is here (first race next weekend).

Running

March was a good month. My training quality has continued to improve, without much change to the quantity. I'm doing my runs a little bit faster without really feeling the extra effort. I ran a 5k race at 5:59 pace and I did a 20 mile training run at 7:30 pace. Aside from my weekly long runs and the race, I've done virtually all of my running wearing Vibram Fivefinger (barefoot-like) shoes and they're feeling really good.

Cycling

While my running steadily improved in March, my cycling made a huge leap. Notably, I rode over 100 miles two times in March 2010, after only riding that distance two times previously in my entire life.

Walking

Despite the better weather I've continued walking on a regular basis. I don't know, I just feel like it helps me in my long distance running.
