My running was really strong during three though workouts (Tempo, Track, and Long Run), but honestly the change to leg strengthening on those days might be a game changer for me. I wrote about it earlier this week here. I absolutely LOVE this approach! I literally feel like I've added an extra day of recovery into my schedule, all while not compromising or dropping any of the necessary workouts. I can't believe I never did this before. I think it's going to make a huge difference with my energy level during the week.
This week is another fairly tough week and then a recovery week. So hopefully I'll have another good week of training to report next week. Hope your training is going well too!
... be great today!
That's a really solid week of training! I love having at least 1 of my 20 milers with a big chunk of MP miles like that. I had a similar week like this last fall but my coach went a little overboard with the 400's (20 of them?!!) and I nearly lost it. I much prefer 10-12! also, I think mowing the lawn should count for at least 10 miles!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tia, yeah I've seen some runners do 20x400. Usually if I rest between them, I'd be closer to 5:00/mile, and 20 seems like it might kill me at that pace
