This week was 46 miles of running and 6 "miles" of pool-running -- training log is here.
This week was a good track workout and a not so good race. I'm still trying to figure out the perfect balance of medications, and I suspect I got it wrong on Saturday. The challenge is that the medications have a long tail, so any changes in dosing have an immediate effect, but also one that may not be noticeable for a few weeks. So I just need to keep testing stuff and taking notes.
Thursday's shoe testing was because I have some para-athetic track meets coming up. For those, I'm required to wear shoes with a sole thickness of 25mm or less, which rules out about 90% of the running shoes being made right now. I am not at all comfortable running on my forefoot, so that eliminates most track spikes.
Fortunately, I have several boxes of old but unused racing shoes from 5+ years ago (before the high stack shoe craze) and so I've been testing those along with a pair of Dragonfly spikes that I bought for 50% off. The shoes I tested on Saturday included the Reebok Floatride Runfast Pro, the Adidas Takumi Sen 7, and the Dragonflies. Of those, I was pretty much tied between the Takumi Sen and the Dragonflies, but I have some more testing to do.
Monday: 6 miles very easy and upper body weights/core. Foam rolling in evening.
