Most of my running over the last month or so has been in the Pearl Izumi SyncroXC. This shoe is a great fit for the trail runner needing a high performance training/racing shoe with light weight cushioning, mild pronation control and traction. Its Seamless upper prevents nagging irritation and its SKYDEX forefoot propulsion pad provides ample cushioning up front. I would recommend giving it a try. This shoe and others can be found over at the Pearl Izumi website.6AM Monday Mar 1- 9 Miles (1:10) Home-Rexius LP- Headwaters TR- Ridgeline TR Dillard LP x2 (~600 ft. +/-). I thought I would test out the climbing legs and how the achilles would handle it. Not bad.
6AM Tuesday Mar 2- 12.5 Miles (1:28) Home-Rexius TR- Amazon TR x1- Hendricks Park LP x2- Back. (~600 ft. +/-) Trails/Roads with more hills.
6AM Wednesday Mar 3- 10 Miles (1:24) Home- Rexius LP- Headwaters TR- Ridgeline TR- Spencer Butte Summit-Back (1,500 ft. +/-). More of a significant climb/decent. I have been missing this!
6AM Thursday Mar 4- 12 Miles (1:26:18) Home-Rexius TR- Amazon TR- Pre's Trail Theater LP-Back Flat Trails/Roads (AV 7:12)
Friday Mar 5- Off (Rest Achilles)
Saturday Mar 6- 22 Miles (2:58) Thornley's LP Ridgeline TR-Mt Baldy-New Ribbon TR- Hendricks Park-Cemetary-Amazon-Rexius. Lots of climbing. (~2,000 ft. +/-). Another good test for achilles....not bad, tight at the end.
Weekly Total- 86 Miles (~4,700 ft. +/-)
Not a bad week. I am only a few weeks into consistent running so this is a good start to continued building towards Western States 100. Goals are to get/stay healthy and gradually build fitness specific to the course on June 26th.
How is your training going?
