I ran 14 miles for my run today in 2 hours. I did it in the morning to beat the heat and because I also wanted to go to the blues festival they had downtown. This was a training run for the SF half marathon I’m doing at the end of July. I’m trying to go for a new PR of 1:40.
For this run, I took it easy and just enjoyed the run. It was my long, slow, distance (lsd) run for the week. Running coach Jack Daniels recommends doing lsd runs to build up the blood vessels in your legs and develop the slow twitch muscles. By doing these slow types of runs, I'll actually become faster. I read it in his book entitled, Daniels’ Running Formula, 3rd Edition (Kindle edition, so I can’t cite the page number).
