I didn't post last week because I had a recovery week and it was pretty boring. I felt my body really needed it. I did one bike trainer workouts and 2 runs, as well as yoga and strength. I really don't think I took it easy enough. What training I did I did at a high intensity, which was probably a mistake.
Anyway, I had a really good training week this week! I haven't really done much of any strength training for a long time because I HATE it. But, Bill is doing some as part of his training for the death race, so I have joined him for some. So here was this week:
Monday: 8 mile treadmill run with 7 miles at an 8% grade
Tuesday: AM strength training, PM 1 hour 35 minutes bike trainer with lots of hard standing intervals
Wednesday: 8 mile general aerobic run
Thursday: 1 hour 35 minute steady state bike trainer ride
Friday: core workout, 2 hour 5 minute bike trainer with 5 10 minute moderate/hard intervals
Saturday: Am strength training/ PM treadmill run, 7 miles with 4 at 8.5% grade
Sunday: 8 mile run with 4x1 mile repeats
That gave me 31 miles run, 5 hours 15 minutes on the trainer, and 3 strength workouts. And lots of quality training! My diet has included lots of lean meats, fresh fruits and veggies, which really helps me to recover and stay healthy.
I think it's 3 weeks until I can apply for the Mount Washington Road Race!!
