Bear training week 3 recap

I just noticed that the original URL slug for last week's recap blog post was "beer-training-weeks-1-2-recap.html". "Beer" instead of "bear". I'm fixing that now. I'd be down for a beer mile, but not a beer 100 miler.

In week 3, I got two interval workouts in, but developed a knot in my left calf and some Achilles tenderness. I ran twice, and did long bike rides instead of long runs. They were quality rides, though, and so I still got a good mix of intensity and long easy effort.

• 11.3 miles running

• 11 hours, 50 minutes all training

• 476 ft D+ running

The highlight of my week was a long Sunday ride on the Poudre River Trail east of Fort Collins, stopping by a taco truck and tap room, and ending up at Hoedown Hill, which might be Colorado's easternmost ski hill. It's a bar and restaurant on top of a 200-foot tall butte, with a north-facing slope beneath.
