Our "easy" recovery run this week was "only" 9 miles.
Since I ran into a few problems last week, I switched to the next slower pace group. It's only marginally slower (10:00 versus 9:30), and honestly I think the only difference is that the 10 min/mile group walks slower. And takes slightly longer walks when it's time to snack. I couldn't tell much difference in the running pace.
Regardless, I stayed with the group for the whole run. My left knee started hurting a bit around mile 5 but didn't become painful enough to slow me down.
On the upside, Wella took another look at my legs and gave me a few new exercises. I hope that if I do these once or twice a day this week that I'll be able to finish the full 20 mile run next Saturday.
