Last week was a good week of training for me. My legs felt tired, but I got everything I needed to be done.
| Monday: | Easy 60 minutes |
| Tuesday: | 8X1 minute hard |
| Wednesday: | Easy 50 minutes |
| Thursday: | 9 miles |
| Friday: | AM: 4 miles |
| PM: 7 miles | |
| Saturday: | 11 miles easy with friend |
| Sunday: | Run the Bridge 10k |
Thoughts:
Tuesday’s Workout: 8X1 minute hard
The goal was to get a quick turnover. I ran hard for a minute and then recovered. I haven’t done formal or quality speed work since my injury. Even before my injury, I was doing longer tempos and mile repeats. Doing shorter workouts are going to improve my 5k speed. I do all of my workouts on the road versus track (because that’s where I typically race).
Run the Bridge 10k: 38:57
As you can gather, my body was tired. It was a rare week that I did not take a rest day. Several of my runs were shorter. Lining up at the Bridge Run, my body was tired, and I felt it. The course itself is difficult, and it was windy as well.
I’ll have a recap later this week. I’m happy with my time, and I do believe I’m in PRing shape. The weather was beautiful and that is one step above where I have been.
Questions for you:
Have you ever run over a Bridge?
How many rest days do you take weekly?
