--You might have noticed that I haven't done a run longer than 8 miles since July. I decided to cut those longer runs out because I found that they left me tired for a few days afterwards. However, these shorter runs (anything 7 miles or under is short since I can run it in under an hour) feel more like an active recovery day than an actual workout. I am going to start playing with this and reducing the amount of running that I do, maybe down to just one 5k and one 6-miler a week. The other days I'm going to focus on difficult/longer metcons. As the weather changes, I'll start to focus more on the gym. Right now I'm planning to decide on a strength program and try to pack on 15 or 20 lbs of muscle over the winter. Of course, this is all riding on my shipment of goat milk whey...
