Week 4 Recap

January 30, 2011 by Kristy 3 Comments

1/30/11

75 min yoga

3 miles easy

Yikes, my legs are tight!  Poses that I did with ease on Friday seemed impossible in class today.  Guess that’s what you get for running 20 miles.  After yoga I came home with the intention of running 5 easy miles (adhering to my 5 mile training rule) and I couldn’t.  My legs weren’t feeling it.  I managed 3 miles at 10:00 pace and called it a day.  Gotta love adaptive training 🙂

Week 4 Recap
MON:  rest
TUE:  5 miles speed
WED:  7 miles tempo
THU:  rest
FRI:  60 min yoga
SAT:  20 miles long
SUN:  75 min yoga + 3 miles easy

A total of 35 miles for the week.  A little less than I’d like but I was happy with my runs overall this week….and that’s what counts!

Tomorrow is a rest day since I have a CPR re-certification class at night.  I have to keep my CPR certification current for my RRCA coaching license.

Good night…I’m exhausted and in a sugar coma thanks to a 1st birthday party today (Happy Birthday Joseph)!

    Wow, I didn’t realize you did your tempo run the day after speed work. That is challenging! And to add a decent paced 20 miler in makes it a great week of training! Lots of quality work.

    Why does that happen? I have the same problem. I am SO stiff after a long run, it takes me days to get back to where I was with some of my stretches. I just don’t understand the physiology behind the run making us feel so tight.

      I really think it has to do with the repetitive motion of running all those miles. And stiffness is also a symptom of DOMS, which is very normal post-long run.
