Weekly Training Log: January 2nd-8th, 2023
January 2nd: Strength Workout – Legs & Pelvic Floor Abs Run – EasyTreadmill Run – 2 Miles Recap: Leg Day, Skipped Speed Day, Easy Run! Leg day was a success. I feel myself getting stronger already. I do need to start taking videos to check my form. My right leg is still feeling a little off, not painful but just off. It’s so hard to describe. I decided to skip my speed session and do an easy two mile run instead. Hoping it was the smart decision. Frustrated about my leg. Need to figure out the cause. January 3rd: Off Day! Walked Around SeaWorld! January 4th: Strength Workout: Upper Body Push Workout Run: 1.5…

Sickness all around.
We started our thanksgiving holiday was everyone getting sick. We celebrated with my parents and sister, and it seemed like we all brought a different sickness to the event. I personally have felt nauseous, had a full body rash, nasal drip and a cough. A full mix of everything on the spectrum it seems. The rest of the house has bad sore throats, bad congestion, ugly cough, and low grade fevers. Here’s to0 hoping I don’t also get those symptoms. The last time I ran I was the Turkey Trot on Thursday. I have been itching to get back at it, but wanted to make sure I kept as healthy…

Race Recap Turkey Trot!
Race recap! I should have ran with my phone or had someone take pictures! I was actually a little nervous for this race. I went back and forth a lot between running with family or running it to the best of my ability. At the end I decided I would run by feel and not look at my watch. We had about three different sicknesses going through our house leading up to the raze. I had some post nasal drip and couch, and was up all night with a toddler who was throwing up and had a slight fever. Still not sure if it was something he ate or the…

Treadmill Long Run
I delayed my long run for longer than I should have and then the day got away from me. I was planning to get up early to run before the rest of the house woke up. Morning workouts have been hit or miss these days. Daylight saving change is still killing our sleep schedule over here in toddler land. Both my kids having adjusted to a later wake up time. I set my alarm and if they are making any noise when I wake up I know it’s not worth it to even attempt a run. I finally mustered up the energy to get out on the treadmill around 9ish.…

A few days of training!
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…

6×400 Speed Work!
Another successful speed workout! I did it on the treadmill to make sure my paces stayed consistent. That method is working for me right now. I am hoping that it translates to being able to hold pace on the roads! I did a one mile warm-up at 10:54 pace. I then did 6×400 with 400 recovery. I did the first five 400s at 7:41 pace and the last one at 7:30 pace. The recovery was a .1 walk .2 at 10min pace and .1 at 9min pace. I wanted the recovery to be a little faster than that, but that’s where I was at today. It still turned out to…
