You guys, it feels amazing to be training again.
I’m following a plan that repeats weeks to avoid increasing mileage too quickly, so I’m just going to list the last two weeks together, okay? (Of course it’s okay. Three people read these posts). Here we go:
Monday (2/27 and 3/6)
4 miles easy/3 miles easy, plus 15-minute strength workout
Tuesday (2/28 and 3/7)
Fartleks: 8 x 2 minutes at 10k pace, 2-minute recovery. With warm-up and cool-down, I ran 7 miles on the 28th and 8 on the 7th. Both were on the treadmill because I am a wuss and didn’t want to run fartleks in the wind AGAIN. Followed by core work
Wednesday (3/1 and 3/8)
3 miles easy/ 5 miles easy, plus core work/light ST
Thursday (3/2 and 3/9)
6 miles easy, followed by 20 minutes strength work
Friday (3/3 and 3/10)
3 recovery miles, followed by foam rolling. These were my first 6-day running weeks since getting injured, so I wanted to take it super easy.
Saturday (3/4 and 3/11)
11 miles. The 4th, I ran from my house. Since it was my longest run since we moved here, I got to explore a little farther than I’d been. I made new friends.
This week, I ran in Boulder as part of a Skirt Sports ambassador meet-up. Because I’m the WORST blogger ever, I took no pictures. Yep.
Sunday (3/5 and 3/12)
Rest day!
Totals: 34/ 35.8 miles
Overall, I’m feeling pretty good. I’ve been slacking a bit on the yoga and foam rolling, and I’m afraid that’s playing with injury fire, so I need to be more faithful again. It feels good to have a “3” in front of my weekly mileage, and I can’t wait until it’s a “5.” But I’m taking it slow and steady!
How’s your training going? What’s your next big goal?
Slow and steady. 🙂 looks good!
And shame about the lack of pictures from the meet -up (were you really there?!), but hope it was fun!
What a view!!!! Did you find any good trails to run in your new neck of the woods yet?
Good Job Girl!! Weather has been good to you!
