I just finished my Long Slow Distance run of 5 miles. I know 5 miles hardly qualifies as long, but I'm building the base slowly as I have the time. I feel like I could have easily pulled off another couple miles, but it would jeopardize my future runs if I were to push it.
This week I finished the week running 17 miles. I feel really good. In past times when I've been building my mileage I usually suffered from ITBS and hip flexors. Currently, I'm not experiencing symptoms of either of those two injuries which is absolutely wonderful. I attribute my good fortune to increasing both distance and intensity in moderation regardless of how I feel at the moment. Previous times when I felt good I thought I should push until I felt poorly, which didn't work out so well. :)
