It's been awhile

Since I last posted. I'm into a rest week now, but it's still quite rewarding. I've been doing forefoot striking for 10% of my runs for some time now, basically making sure to do at least 100 steps of running with my toes striking first for every KM in a given run (not necessarily 100 steps in each actual km, but the number of km in a run, rounded up to the nearest whole number, is the number of 100 step toe first iterations I'd do). At some point, I started doing at least 300 at a time. Today, I did 20% of my run to work with forefoot striking. It's working out well, and I at least partially credit having added toe and arch exercises to my routine.

I received a package from REI today. A pair of 600mL ultraflasks, an emergency bivy, that sort of thing. I'm now well into the territory of having assembled a good trail running kit.

I figured out that my vivoactive 3 just does not have enough battery life to cover a trail marathon in April. Not even close. I'm seriously considering a different watch.
