Waking The Fast Twitch

Good morning.

Yesterday I woke up my fast twitch fibers. The more I run the better the legs feel, especially the calf. I started the run yesterday as a recovery run but that changed after the first mile.

I felt good running at these paces and did not tire aerobically. The legs could have kept going, but I thought 5 miles total with four at the faster paces was good enough. My heart rate seemed a little high for those paces but that may be due to the warmer temps.

I may try to complete this weeks Boston Bound program except for today. We are traveling home from Florida and I may run when we get home or just do the elliptical.

The question: If all is still going well by Saturday do I run the last 20 miler? What are your thoughts on this?

" Beyond the very extreme of fatigue and distress, we may find amounts of ease and power we never dreamed ourselves to own, sources of strength never taxed at all because we never push through the obstruction."

* It takes courage to push yourself to places that you have never been before... to test your limits... to break through barriers. And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” - Anais Nin
