long run - ouch
yesterday morning was a 45min trainer ride with some 1min high cadence reps to get the legs moving. those trainer rides in the morning are really tough to get excited about.
lunch yesterday was a 3min/1650m swim. did some drills followed by 5x100m paddles.
last night was for core and upper body strength exercises.
this morning was the weekly long run of 16.5 miles in 2:20. I ran 4x4.1 mile loops and increased my pace each lap. lap paces were 8:45, 8:30, 8:20 and 7:55. During the run a ate a few gels and drank g-rade and water. I made the mistake on not wearing my gloves which lead to frozen hands. i actually struggle to open my gels b/c i couldnt squeeze my hand closed. and yes, my knees are quit sore. and after a 4am wake up i am freakin tired!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope to get in a trainer ride tonight and a long swim tomorrow. This week starts a recovery week which i feel i really need and then i have 1 month left before my 3 week taper. I am glad IMAZ is near b/c i am beat from this long training!!!!!!!!!!!
