back to running
Thursday was a upper body and legs weight session during lunch and a 55min recovery ride on the trainer the same night. i continue to work on my single legs drills on the trainer which seems to make pedaling alot easier on regular rides.
Friday morning a ran on town lake. It was my first run down there in the dark and it was quite enjoyable. The trails arent busy with walkers, the downtown skyline is lite up, and the its quiet. This was my first run in a week due to a knee and foot issue. The kne was still tender as well as the foot. if the issues continue i will head back to the dr for some opinions. the run was 6miles (2x 3mile loops). the goal was for a somewhat easy lap followed by a quicker one. I really enjoy thr negative split theory in my workouts b/c it makes me start slow and pace myself early on. my first lap was 24:25 and the second was 22:50. the second lap pace was faster by about :32 per mile.
Sat will be an off day before month 2 of base training start tomorrow. i and 3.5 months out from the race so i need to buckle down and get my mileage up. I need to being swimming over 4k in at least 1 weekly workout, biking over 4hrs on my long ride, and running up to 2hrs on the long run by the end of jan. i will also get in a brick of 3.5hr bike and 1.5hr run.
