Training Log: Working Towards Slowly Building Endurance.

This week had a few more downs than up, but it was another semi-solid week of training. One thing I am proud of is that when I took some unplanned time off I didn’t just stop all training for the week. In the past I would have just called it quits and started fresh again on Monday of the next week.

I had two solid days of training on Monday and Tuesday, then I know I didn’t fuel or hydrate correctly after. This led to feeling dead on Wednesday. I decided to try out a quick lift and stopped halfway into it, because I knew it was going to do more harm than good. On Thursday I decided that a walk to get my body moving and heart rate up a little was the best option. Saturday called for my long run and I was able to get back on track. Five miles on the treadmill. I kept the pace on the slower side, but I didn’t have to stop and walk at all. Big win for my training! Sometimes I choose to run on the treadmill instead of going outside to make sure I am keeping the pace slow enough.

Still excited about training and enjoying the slow progress and listening to my body!
