Training log - Week ending 5/16/2021

This week was 60 miles of running, 1000 yards of swimming and 19 "miles" of pool-running -- training log is here.

Just a steady week of training, with just two workouts.  Things are feeling good - I'm not in shape to break 3 hours, but I should be good for something between 3:00 and 3:05.

One more week of training, and then I taper.    It is supposed to warm up this coming week, which I'm actually pretty happy about - it will give me some heat acclimation in case Grandma's ends up being a warm race.

Monday: 5 "miles" of pool-running and streaming yoga. Foam rolling at night. 

Tuesday: 9 miles very easy outside (8:56) plus drills and two hill strides, followed by upper body weights/core and then 3.5 miles very easy (8:53). Foam rolling at night.
