Training this week went well for the most part. I'm still injury free and actually learned a valuable lesson this week. That lesson? Do not consume dairy products prior to a run - even an easy run. Another lesson learned? I really need to get in more core workouts and another upper body workout, but to be honest I'm just being lazy with that. I always have been lazy with strength workouts, but it's time to change that.
Monday
Upper body & core workout.
Tuesday
45 minute easy run, lower body workout
Here is where the dairy came into play. Dairy consumed one hour prior to workout = Janette puking for 15 minutes and hoping she'll be done in time to teach her yoga class that night. I was done in time, but still not feeling totally up to class, but still taught a great gentle yoga class.
Wednesday
Hill workout
Now this was fun! I already blogged about it here.
Thursday
Off! :)
Friday
Intervals
I watched the storm clouds coming in on another humid evening. It started raining exactly as I was finishing my last .2 miles. I loved the timing of that! I've never been so lucky!
Saturday
Lower body workout
Sunday
14 miles easy
Longest run in this training phase. It was another humid day - about 80 degrees when I went out at 9am. I was already dripping sweat after my 6 minute warm up. I used my new sports drink today and really liked it. It's not as sweet as Gatorade and it still gave me the refreshed feeling. It was pretty nasty tasting warm though, but then again so is Gatorade. At mile 7 I was feeling that I could run all day, but then at mile 10 I thought "oh please... I just want to go home" and that I did. Four miles later I was home, dripping with sweat, sticky with salt and ready for a shower. Now that's a great morning!
Total Miles: 34.2
