The past 2 weeks of training have been excellent, and last
week I exceeded my personal best in total mileage for a week by running over 90
miles. The inversion in the air made
running difficult, especially being forced to log many, many miles on a treadmill. That being said, long mileage on a treadmill
is actually great mental training as it forces a person to be strong and fight
through the boredom. I do not listen to
music when I run, so it can be even more challenging.
As far as the inversion goes, if you’re going
to be exercising outside and live in Utah, I highly recommend keeping an eye on
http://www.airquality.utah.gov. They do a great job updating the air
pollutants hourly and offer a simple color pattern to determine whether or not
you should be participating in strenuous activities outdoors. They even have apps for Android and iOS
mobile devices so you can check if you’re away from a computer. I check it multiple times per day to plan my
outdoor running schedule. That’s it for
now, live healthy and happy!
