Running Summary August 2024

Since resuming running in June, I tried not to increase my mileage quickly. Many of my runs this month took place in high humidity, which had a good training effect but was physically tiring. I tried another set of half mile repeats this month. My long runs in the humidity were very difficult, and I had to cut some short.

Unfortunately, I experienced growing pain in my right Achilles tendon. I had to cut short my long run on August 24, stopping after running eleven miles out of a planned thirteen.

I had signed up for a half marathon in Westerly, Rhode Island, scheduled on the second weekend of September, but I decided I could not run the race.

This has happened before. After a few weeks of rest and no running, I expect I’ll start running again.

These were the miles I logged from June 17, 2024, through August 24, 2024.
