This week was 37.5 miles of “real running” and 15 “miles” pool running, plus 2500 yards of swimming breathing drills -- training log is here.
Mileage is super low for 2 reasons: First, I got sick this week. Nothing horrible, but a combination of a mild fever, achy body, congestion, and elevated resting heart rate convinced me to skip Tuesday’s workout – I had nothing to gain and everything to lose from forcing a workout when I was feeling run down. Especially since I was racing Broad Street on Sunday.
The second reason for the low mileage was my taper for the Broad Street 10 miler. Though the race wasn’t what I had hoped for, I’m still pretty happy with it.
