Training log - Week ending 4/17/2022

This week was 60 miles of running, ~1500 meters of swimming and 18 "miles" of pool-running -- training log is here.

I decided to sit out the BAA 5k this weekend in favor of getting in a consistent week of training (and not having to travel).  I was pretty happy with how things felt - things are definitely improving.

I noted a few weeks ago that my adductors and inner hamstrings were extraordinarily week, so I've started working to strengthen them.  It seems to be helping with my stability, as does thinking about using them when running.

Dailies:

Monday:  9 "miles" of pool-running and upper body weights/core.   Foam rolling at night. 

Tuesday: 12 miles, including a track workout of 6x800 in 3:24, 3:17, 3:14, 3:12, 3:14, 3:13.  2:2x-2:4x recovery after the 800s.  Followed with leg strengthwork and 500 yards recovery swimming.  Foam rolling in evening.
