Running Summary March 2025

In March I completed a long run of 12.53 miles, but I was tired for several days aftewards. After that, all of my runs were four to six miles long. I was surprised when near the end of March I suddenly began running faster, reducing my time by 30 seconds per mile with no perceived increase in effort.

In mid-March I began bicycling occasionally on non-running days, which was good cross-training but tiring for my legs. In general, I have enough energy to either run or bicycle each day, although occasionally I need to take a rest day because my legs are tired.

In April I plan to increase my bicycling and probably reduce my running, perhaps alternating running and bicycling days. I need to get into bicycle touring condition sufficient for riding a loaded bicycle about 45 miles in a day.

These are the miles I’ve logged from November 2, 2024, through March 31, 2025.
