World Run I / ReportsGoto: 2004-08-06 2004-08-08 Russia 2004-08-07:Distance today: 53.0 km (Accumulated: 9485.0 km) Country: Russia Route Report: 53km, 5:40:43 h (J.). Excl. food, water, toilet etc. stop. Total 9444km. (A. and J.). Start 9:26am (all). Finish16:37pm (J.), 17:14 (K.), 17:55 (A.). * entering the Chita region - now GMT + 9hours. * At start +16c, med. wind and half overcast. 21c. and same at finish. As mentioned yesterday the highland running has proved to be a slight problem. Especially Alexander and I (J.) have difficulty recovering from one day to the next. In theory there shouldn?t be a problem at less than about 3000m and upwards, but perhaps its the 9000km of running since London, that makes even small altitude a problem ?! - With a fairly high oxygen intake index (for my part 74, in university tests), the body should have plenty of surplus at 800m - 1000m alt. where we run now. And in any case slow pace ultra running neither should bring the body near its aerobic limit. Yet we seem not to recover anywhere near 100%; making the days harder for each start now. It goes for the recovery of all from muscle fatigue, small injuries, wounds, insects bites and to general exhaustion. |
