Easy Recovery Run With Owen
Got out for a nice easy post-race recovery run tonight, and I had a friend join me! Owen said he wanted to go to the track with me, so even though I wasn't planning to run at the track I decided right away that my plans were easy to change. He rode his bike beside me as I jogged to the track and then he ran three laps with me. After each of his laps I would continue running while he rested. He ran the first 400m in 2:34, the second in 2:16, and then I paced him around the third 400m to a very impressive 1:56. He was hurting a little bit towards the end of that last lap with a cramp in his side, but he toughed it out nicely and sprinted to the end! He did that last lap at 4:50/km pace, which was very speedy for the little guy I thought.
In the end I ran one more kilometre than I had planned, but it was a nice easy 6km done in 35:17 for an average pace of 5:52/km (9:27/mile). The average heart rate was definitely in the recovery run zone, registering at 126bpm.
Garmin don't lie.

That is awesome! I can't wait till Morgan is a little older so we can run together. She asks me all the time.
Very speedy Mr. Owen. Well done!
Running with the kids ftw!
That's cool that your son likes to run with you. Keep it fun for him so he stays interested in it.
Nice job on the recovery run!
I took my son to the track and his first lap was pretty strong but, when I told him what a recent local 400m track finsh in his age group was like, he suddenly turned it up a notch. The kids are sandbagging us.
