Week 5 - Anyone seen my legs?

Saturday's 16 mile run felt great but since then my legs have been seriously fatigued. Basically, we can go to the Anchorman weather desk to show what I am dealing with.



I still managed to run both Monday (amazingly warm weather) and Tuesday (freezing cold - colder than last Tuesday weather), but I really felt like my legs didn't want any part of the workout.

It isn't to say that I had a bad track workout, I just didn't feel fresh like I usually do. It could be that the increased running load is finally catching up with me, or it could also be that I haven't been stretching very much after many of my runs, especially those that I have been doing with other people.

Last night, I used my rumble roller for like 20 minutes to release the tension in my legs and I almost fell asleep on the floor because of all the tension that came out/I was just really tired.

To make matters worse, I am switching up my long run this week to Thursday since I will be in Montreal over the weekend and who wants to run 14-16 miles (22+ km) in the frigid cold of Montreal, instead I will do my relatively short 12-14km run from Thursday on Saturday.

Hopefully my legs will come back soon though because it is going to be a long 14 weeks without them.
