I was surprisingly stiff when I started my run tonight. I didn't think the leg work of yesterday's weight session would have hit me that hard, but it took a while for the legs to loosen up. Even by the end of the run, it felt like I had done more work, from the mild fatigue already in my legs.
But here's the kicker: I had a lower HR than last week. Still not quite in range (by one beat), but not far off. Does the stiffness suppress heart rate? Or am I actually getting fitter? Or is this just an anomaly? Who knows? All I know is, I ran six miles, felt pretty good doing it, and now get to rest for the remainder of the evening.
After I shovel the driveway, that is.
Run: 6 miles @ 7.5 mph
