Training log - Week ending 12/26/2021

This week was 61 miles of running, 1500 yards of swimming and 18 "miles" of pool-running -- training log is here.

Really just more of the same - trying to train consistently without overdoing stuff.  It feels like I might be making some slow progress - I no longer feel wobbly at the beginning of runs, just weak and slow.

I do still note that I am considerably worse running downhill than on the flat - on Sunday's progressive long run, I dropped nearly 15 seconds per mile once I was running on the flat rather than downhill.  I have a hunch that figuring out the reason behind that will also fix my issues.

Dailies:

Monday: 3 miles on treadmill (10:03) and 1 hour pool-running.   Foam rolling at night. 

Tuesday: 12 miles, including a track workout of 2000, 800, 1600, 800, 400 in 8:49, 3:17, 6:42, 3:12, 1:33.  6 minute recoveries after the 2000 and 1600; 3 minutes recovery after the first 800 (longer between second 800 and 400 due to shoe tying).  Followed with leg strengthwork and 500 yards recovery swimming.  Foam rolling in evening.

Wednesday:  Upper body weights/core and 10 miles very easy (9:37), plus drills and four hill strides.  Foam rolling in evening.

Thursday: 2 hours pool-running and streaming yoga.  Foam rolling at night.

Friday: 11 miles, including a tempo workout of 4800m in 28:03 (7:15/7:03/6:57/6:48).  Then leg strengthwork and 500 yards recovery swimming.  Foam rolling in evening.

Saturday: 10 miles (9:36) plus drills and strides.  Foam rolling at night.

Sunday: 14 miles progressive, split as first 5 averaging 10:00 pace, next 4 miles averaging 8:27 pace, next 5 miles averaging 7:27 pace.  Followed with leg strengthwork and 500 yardsrecovery swimming.
