10K, workout #33

As I wrote yesterday, two rather exhausting workouts on a single day wasn't the best idea ever. Luckily, I had a day to recover yesterday and today's plan is a long run of 14K.

The workout

A long run of 12K in heart rate zone 2, preferably not on concrete.

Afterwards

Well, finding a route that did not involve miles of asphalt is difficult where I live. There is, however, a small park near my house, but it's only a kilometer long. So, I ran it 12 times. Yes, that is as boring as it sounds, but the upside is that you don't have to pay attentions to where you're going and you can focus on technique.

One thing that troubles me a bit is that after Wednesday, I feel something in a tendon in my right foot. I guess I could have overstretched it during a strength exercise (I suspect lifting weights while balancing on a ball...), but I hoped it would be gone after a day of rest. It doesn't hurt much, but it definitely feels 'off'.
