Last week finished up with about 30 miles of run training along with cross training in the water and in cycling classes. Feeling pretty good. Started this week with a 10 mile trail run at 6.000 ft of altitude and 40F temps. A challenging run. Discovered my cold dry air exercise induced asthma - that resulted from my run on Sunday afternoon. Symptoms were identical to Leadville, which interestingly enough occurred at night when the temps dropped. So i'm thinking that I may that riddle solved for 2011 Leadville races.
Work is busy, but going to manage stress levels going into next week. Got a great massage tonight - lower back and legs were the focus, feeling brand new. This week I will be getting in 25-30 miles and then followed by 10 miles during race week just to stay fresh. 2 days out from race will get massage and will stretch and stay limber.
With this being the last race of the year - really looking for a good performance. This is a very very challenging course. No real flat straights to loosen up. Either your ascending or descending on this course. Strategy will need to be thought thru and managed on race day.
Life is good.
Cheers
