| I had to shorten my run yesterday and take it very easy. The legs just didn't have much of anything to them. The past 3 weeks have been pretty hard work on my body, not with just the most miles I've ever run in a 21 day period, but also for strength training which now includes doing squats and deadlifts.
The plan for this week is to take it easy. I won't be doing any squatting or deadlifting, and will try to have around 15 miles of running through Saturday before going into Sunday when there's a 5-mile race in the area that I would like to do. I hope that'll be enough cut back to get the legs nearly fully rested by Sunday so I can give a complete and full effort, and maybe get a measure of how much progression there's been since my last race, a 5K back on the 30th of December.
I had hoped to make today a complete off day from any or all training, but the weather forecast for tomorrow is horrible. I'm going out for a run tonight, I'll try to go real easy and whatever the legs can handle I'll do. |
