Final Workout in Preparation for Leadville Trail 26.2
I journeyed up to Sandia Peak, 10,600 feet and small change. My idea was to hit the trail, run down with the dogs for a warm up and then take them back to the car to rest and then, go run down 2 miles and back up 2 miles. The Forest Ranger had a different plan for me. I've known for 2 weeks the National Forest is closed until October OR ABQ gets rain. I also knew that Sandia Look out was open.

I am such a 'rule breaker'. It's going to hurt me unless, I just say, "adios" or switch to green tea or decaf. Coffee is 2 things to
It felt so good to go fast again!
I haven't ridden my bike since my farewell to Northshore: That was a sad day. I have been so busy, relocating, packing, running
Run 3 hours and 30 minutes:
Saturday was my longest training run for the Leadville Marathon: 3 hours and 30 minutes. I ran in the foothills at the top of Montgomery. I ran 1 hour and 30 minutes on the Mountain Bike Trails. Then, I ran 1 hour UP: Straight UP, UP, UP, UP I went. This became so steep, and I was scrambling across rock. I haven't told you about my new shoes: New Balance Minumus: I love these shoes. They have a Vibram soles. I bought the men's version, it had a little more room in the toe
Leucine and the roll of Protein Synthesis in Acute Muscle Acidosis
Acute Muscle Acidosis inhibits protein synthesis; In the research a supplementation drink of: 25 g whey protein 4 g leucine 50 g carbohydrates best promotes protein synthesis during strength training. I believe leucine will also help protein synthesis during endurance training of higher intensities.
