Chris: Starting Over… Kind of
Posted on Jun 22, 2009 under Uncategorized |I’ve got to try harder to post a little more often. Not because anyone other than you and I read this but because it helps motivate me.
The allergy spell set me back a week but I’m fine now. I took advantage of the week off to realign my training with the time frame that I have. Had I continued on the pace I was on I would have been two weeks ahead of the marathon and I don’t want to burn out or not have anything planned for those couple of weeks. Sounds lame but it’s true.
So this past week was the same as Week 1. I did miss the Tuesday easy run (40 minutes) and took the rest day instead of the easy run on Friday. I did this mainly because I put a strong focus on the gym this week. Specifically on my core. I got three strong core workouts in and it helped a lot on Sunday’s long run. I made one mistake and that was working my legs too hard on Saturday’s circuit. I tried to be Mr. Tough Guy and leg pressed about twice what I usually do. I did it with ease but felt it on the long run. My legs were pooped.
This week I intend on getting all workouts in regardless of schedule. If I have to be in the gym at 10 pm I will be there.
