Back to Weekly Recaps

One of my main goals for the month of March is consistency in my training. And, I think a return to holding myself accountable here on a weekly basis will help.

So how’d last week go?

My goals were to get 3 solid runs; daily strength and core work and at least 1 day of cross-training. I ended up giving my knee some extra TLC at the beginning of the week so I got 2 runs instead of 3 – but Saturday’s run was a glorious 5 pain-free miles that had me smiling the rest of the day! I did get a day of cross-training and strength and core exercises happened 5 out of 7 days. All-in-all not too bad.

After speaking with Coach Bennett on Friday, we’ve decided to return to an earlier (read easier) week in my training plan and see how things go. So I’m off to hit the bike for 40 minutes this morning – the rest of the week will include 16 miles of running, yoga and those all too familiar strength exercises. We dodged the snow here so while it will be bitter cold, I’m determined to stick to running outdoors!

  1. Yay for pain free running!

    I can deal with cold running – snow running sucks though, so yeah to dodging it!

  2. Great news!! I hope it stays that way now! Sounds like a good week all around.

  3. I’m still running outdoors, too. The thought of the dreadmill makes me want to cry! I’m glad you are giving yourself an easier week – sometimes we have to do that to avoid something worse later on. Good luck!

  4. Way to shuffle it up so it works best for you! I did something similar last week when I could tell my body was not recovered enough for a pace run. How great you dodged the snow. We were not as lucky.

  5. Yay on the pain-free miles! Good idea to step back in your training. We did get snow and my treadmill is broken. :-/
