I’ve come to embrace step-back weeks in a training plan!
There is value in giving your legs a break. And, given the way my legs felt following Saturday’s long run (read heavy, tired, sore) ….a step back is needed!
So this is a week of easy runs:
Sunday — Rest
Monday — 4
Tuesday — 5, plus a trip to Dr. Needles
Wednesday — 4, plus weekly pilates class
Thursday — 5
Friday — Yoga
Saturday — 5
It will be a good week to get back to get back to daily core work, while treating my legs to as much R.I.C.E. as possible!
How’s your week shaping up?
Me too! I need to start icing and stretching more just to PREVENT anything from happening. 🙂
They say Prevention is better than cure!
Enjoy your step back week!
Step-back weeks feel sooo good! Enjoy!
I love those weeks!! Enjoy the runs and pamper yourself 🙂
