This week was 45 miles of running, 1000 yards of swimming, some stuff on the arc-trainer, and 24 "miles" of pool-running -- training log is here.
(Belated entry)
This was another week as a holding pattern. I was going to try a hill workout on Tuesday, but felt very wobbly, so swapped to arc-trainer intervals. Friday was a bit better.
Throughout the week, I experimented with different pre-run regimens. Pool-running before running outside seems quite helpful. However, it's also inconvenient to try to pool-run BEFORE land running (for some strange reason, the reverse order works much better).
I also experimented with some stretches. It seems that deep sustained stretches of my calves, hamstrings, quads, and lower back (and by sustained I mean holding the stretch for at least 60 seconds), helps a lot. As much or more than the pool-running.
I've always done dynamic stretching and mobilization before running, but it seems that static stretching actually works better for me now. Very interesting.
Monday: 8 "miles" of pool-running and streaming yoga. Foam rolling at night.
