A few days of training! - Run Lift Balance

Recap for a few days of training!. I am starting to love speed work. Pushing myself outside of my comfort zone and getting my heart rate up has been a fun change of pace in this training cycle.

Yesterday I did a tempo workout. Five minute warm-up, 3x5mins tempo pace with 1min walking rest in between. The target pace was 7:41. I hit the first two and crashed and burned the last one. I would still say overall it was successful.

Instead of easy miles or cross training on Wednesday between speed workouts I opted for a day off. I probably should have done at least a little cross training or a couple easy miles to flush out the legs. I always forget how much a little flush out of the legs can help with recovery! Too flush the hard effort from yesterday out of my legs, I did some easy miles.. To make sure I ran slow and to watch some trashy tv, I opted for the treadmill.
