Training log - Week ending 2/4/2024

This week was 56 miles of running and 18 "miles" of pool-running -- training log is here.

Late once again, I'll post my weekly. 

I'm out of shape, which has an obvious solution. I'm also having to re-learn the mechanics of how to run faster than easy pace (it's a neurological thing), which has the same obvious solution.  

I bumped up my towpath run to 10 miles this week, so next week I'll try to get some miles in on Roosevelt Island.  I also have a rust buster 5K coming up on Saturday.  It will almost certainly not be pretty, but it's been over two months since I've raced and I need to start practicing that skill again.

Monday:  9 "miles" pool-running and streaming yoga.  Foam rolling in evening.

Tuesday: 10 miles, including a track workout of 2000, 1200, 2x800, 2x400 in 9:20, 5:20, 3:28, 3:27, 1:40, and 1:42 (recoveries of 5:38 after the 2000, 3:0x-3:2x after the 1200 and 800s, and 91 between the 400s), followed by leg strengthwork.   Sports massage in evening.
 
Wednesday: Upperbody weights/core followed by 10 miles very easy home (9:26) plus drills and 2 strides.  Foam rolling in evening.

Thursday: 9 "miles" pool-running in the morning; streaming pilates and foam rolling in evening.

Friday: 10 miles, including a track workout of 3200, 1600 in 14:37 (7:20/7:17) and 7:10, with 5:17 between the two.  Followed with leg strengthwork.  Foam rolling in evening.

Saturday: 10 miles very easy on the towpath (9:23).  Streaming yoga and foam rolling in afternoon.

Sunday:  15.5 miles progressive, split as the first 5 miles averaging 9:27 pace, the next 6 miles averaging 8:48 pace, and then the next 4 miles averaging 7:49 pace, plus a half-mile cooldown.  Followed with leg strengthwork.  Foam rolling at night.
