Since I kind of overdid it on Monday and my shins were feeling a tiny bit tender for the first time in ages, I decided to sort of head the Garmin watch and do a shorter run today, as a kind of recovery.
Instead of 10K, I ran 5K at the river.
Instead of having an average BPM of 155, it was a nice 150.
Because the river trail is wider and flatter, my pace was still faster overall than Monday, with an average of 5:42/km. I also got a badge for my fastest 1K to date (5:35/km).
Conditions were decent–cloudy but no chance of showers, little breeze and not super chilly at 5-6C. The shins felt a little tingly to start, but settled down. I think they will recover fine over the next couple of days.
Overall, a nice little run and it gets me to an OCD-pleasing total run distance of 5,500 km!
