This week was 42 miles of running, 15 "miles" of pool-running, and 1500 yards of swimming.
I needed a few days to recover from last week's trip to Olomouc. After that, I started building up mileage again with a mix of pool-running and land running.
After so many races in the past few weeks (10 races ranging in distance between 800m and 10K over the past 8 weeks) I needed a break from the clock. So, I headed back to Iwo Jima for some hills. The Iwo Jima hill workout is always a great way to get my heart rate up some while working on my running gait, but without the tyranny of splits and paces.
My plan for the next few weeks is to ease into workouts while building back up in mileage. After racing so much, I'm going to take a break from racing for a few weeks. Right now, my next race on the schedule is the DC Half in September. However, if I find something interesting in between now and then, I may race it. Either way, it's nice to be able to train without worrying about schedules and tapering.
