This week was 57 miles of running, 1000 yards of swimming and 30 "miles" of pool-running -- training log is here.
Just two workouts this week, but I was happy with both of them. The Wednesday workout was in decent weather; the Saturday workout less so, but both went well. I was particularly happy with how my heart rate/perceived effort stayed in the right place on Saturday's run - that hasn't been the case in previous attempts at that workout.
I'm still a lot slower than I would like to be, but isn't that true for all of us? At least the trend is the right direction.
Dailies:
Monday: 6 mile fartlek on the track (did a few 200s at about 50 seconds each playing with form) and then 6 "miles" of pool-running. Foam rolling at night.
Tuesday: 10 miles very easy (9:52), drills/strides and upperbody weights/core. Foam rolling at night.
Wednesday: 12 miles, including 2x(2K, 1200, 1600) at 10 mile race effort plus 400 a bit faster. Splits were 8:52, 5:13, 6:54; 8:38, 5:08, 6:48; and 97. Recoveries of 2:3x-2:4x within the sets and 5:14/5:40 after each set. Followed with leg strengthwork and 500 yards recovery swimming. Foam rolling at night.
Thursday: 12 "miles" pool-running and streaming yoga. Foam rolling in evening
Friday: 12 miles (9:42), drills/strides, and upper body weights/core. Foam rolling at night.
Saturday: 17 miles, including a marathon effort workout of 2x5 miles with 1 mile easy in between (paces were 7:37 and 7:34). Followed with injury prevention work and 500 yards recovery swimming. Foam rolling at night.
