view from my long run in Alameda
I felt really good about this week. I think only running 4 days a week (and cross training 2 days a week) is really helping keep my legs from feeling totally dead.
Monday – REST
Tuesday – was supposed to be 11 miles, but it turned into 12 when I discovered the path I usually take was closed for repaving. Thanks to the map on my phone I found my way home on the streets. I felt so good at the end that I ran the last 3 miles in 7:34, 7:34, and 7:29!
Wednesday – 45 minute spin…on the trainer, watching Jon Stewart.
Thursday – 8 miles with 4 at Lactate Threshold pace. Ran one mile to the gym and hopped on the treadmill, one mile warm-up, 4 miles at 7:08 min/mile, one mile cool down on the treadmill, then one mile home.
Friday – 45 minutes Vinyasa yoga. I did a video from here and it was awesome. I hadn’t done yoga in months, but Teri’s post inspired me to do it again
Saturday – 6 miles easy (9:00/mile) with the whole family. Mike and I eached pushed the stroller 3 miles.
Sunday – 15.1 miles (8:49 pace) A nice, relaxed long run with my dad around Alameda
Total: 41 miles
I’m so glad this is going well for you!
I’ve never run a 7:xx mile in my entire life!! You are ridiculously speedy. Thanks for the Yoga video link…I’m in need of some bending and stretching!!!
That sounds like a great running week! I love that you run with your dad and he seems to keep a pretty good pace too!
