Happy Monday!
As I mentioned last week, I’m returning to training updates to help hold myself more accountable. The plan for last week was to “step back” to a week earlier in my training plan to see how my left knee responded.
So how’d it go? (Actual in blue)
Monday: 40 mins cross training — Yoga
Tuesday: 5 miles with negative split on back half — 5.5 miles but no neg. split
Wednesday: Strength exercises — Done
Thursday: 3 mi. tempo plus 1 mile w/u & c/d — Done
Friday: Strength exercises — Done
Saturday: 7 mile LSD — 7.25 miles
Daily: core work & rolling — Done
Every run felt like a serious effort but I got them done. And, while sore, there was no knee pain while running! So the week was a huge win in my book! To make sure I’m on the right track I’ll basically be repeating the same plan this week with just a slightly longer run on Thursday. Also looking forward to running with my oldest son this week while he’s home on spring break 🙂
What are you looking forward to this week?Â
Looks like lots of good blue to me! Glad the week was a success. Hopefully with some warmer temps this week that trend will continue for you.
I am looking forward to my runs this week–I did 8 on Sat. and that felt great!
Yay!! That’s great to hear you didn’t have any pain – great news! Great workouts this week.
Enjoy your run with your son!
Hooray for a successful week! Honestly I’m looking forward to getting through training this week, as it’s my last big one before the taper….and I feel like I’m on the edge of a cold….fighting, fighting…
That’s a great week! I’m SO impressed w/daily core work and rolling. That’s awesome 🙂
