Training Log - January 31

It's only -10 today, but I didn't have the will to bundle up and go for a walk. It's an easy "cross-training" day so I did a 30 minute hilly walk on the treadmill. You would think that a treadmill would be "easier" than actually running or walking outside, but it isn't. The fact that every footfall is exactly the same stresses the muscles identically with each stride. Outside the slight variation in the surface places slightly different stress with every footfall. I can tell when I've run a couple of days in a row on the treadmill. I needed the easy day today.
