This week was 53 miles of running, 1000 yards of swimming, and 21 "miles" of pool-running -- training log is here.
I moved closer to my "normal" routine this week, with both track intervals and a tempo. Both were quite unimpressive - I'm just struggling aerobically - out of breath with a high heart rate. It's not asthma (lungs feel great and peak flow meter reads normal), and my legs also feel quite good.
I had some blood drawn on Tuesday - checking my CBC (complete blood count), iron levels, folate, and B12. I haven't yet discussed the bloodwork with a doctor, but to my reading, it looks like my iron is still low - that's certainly consistent with how I feel.
We'll see what the doctor says when I have my appointment in early August. In the meantime, I'm already on iron supplements - I've been on them since this spring.
Monday: 10 "miles" of pool-running and upper body weights/core. Foam rolling at night.
Tuesday: 11 miles, including a short track workout of 2x(1600m, 800m) and 2x200m in 6:41, 3:10, 6:33, 3:04, 44, and 43. Very long recoveries after each. Followed with leg strengthwork and 500 yards recovery swimming. Foam rolling at night.
Wednesday: 9 miles easy (9:41) with drills and two hill strides, followed by streaming yoga and then 3 miles very easy on the treadmill (9:46). Foam rolling at night.
