Training log - week ending 4/13/2025

This week was 40 miles of running and 18 "miles" of pool-running.

Mostly recovery from Cherry Blossom plus a bit of work at the end of the week.  I've been playing around with the idea of wearing split shorts (so very 2009) instead of boy shorts, simply because pressure/compression seems to make my muscles stiffer.  So I did my last long run in split shorts, with gels.

And.... that's a nope.  Maybe it's just me, but the split shorts don't work anywhere near as well for carrying gels as the boy shorts do - the gels move around a lot more when the short doesn't hold them in place.

Glad I tried that on a long run, instead of assuming it would work...


Dailies:

Monday: 7 "miles" pool-running and foam rolling.

Tuesday: 7 miles very easy (10:45) on a very muddy towpath. Streaming pilates and foam rolling.
