| Easy run yesterday morning, just 3 miles and its purpose was just to put more miles into the legs along with ramping up how often they can feel ready to run. Last year I got ready for the half-marathon with a schedule of 4 runs a week, this year I want to run 5 times a week on my hard build weeks and 4 times during recovery weeks. The principle is a bit like Pavel Tsatsouline's pointing out the importance of how the nervous system learns to coordinate the muscles and he's got strength training regimens that use almost daily workouts. You can probably transfer or borrow the same idea. But at the same time you always have to balance out how much fatigue the working out is causing, so when I'm in the Tuesday through Thursday part of the week I'm trying to see how it goes with moderately hard effort of tempo running on Tuesday, easy recovery jogging on Wednesday, then on Thursday's comes the hill workouts.
I ran 4.7 miles today with 7 hill repeats. On the 6th and 7th repeats I could feel form breaking down plus how it was becoming more of a strain to make each repeat solid and good. So I decided against doing the 8th as I had been planning. Still a good workout.
I did overhead presses and barbell rows yesterday after work, was disappointed with the numbers for the overhead presses. I'm going to see what happens the next time I do them and if it looks I've hit a threshold with how this training method is working, I figure it'll be time to switch over to something new and get the muscles jolted to something new. |
