Half-marathon training – Week 14 – Ultimate is different from running!

On Saturday I set a new personal distance record and ran 9 miles (14.5 km). My total mileage for the week was 19 miles. This is a bit less than last week because instead of running on Sunday I played in an ultimate frisbee game. I discovered that playing ultimate is much different from long distance running! It’s a lot of sprinting and quick changes of direction and my legs aren’t used to that anymore! On the plus side I think both my foot speed and overall fitness have improved so that has to help my ultimate game.
