Accountability ROCKS 🙌🤘 Last week I called myself out in the training log for having neglected my strength & conditioning workouts since my last race and this week they were reinstated. 3 sessions complete ✔️ 1 core session & 2 full body sessions. AND today I have the pleasure of DOMS (delays onset muscle soreness ~ or, being bloody stiff the day after a workout). DOMS is funny, I often have the pain, a weird kinda sicky feeling that accompanies (not sure what that’s all about or whether it’s entirely normal 🙄😂) but I quite like it 😂
All in it was another solid week, that went a little something like this;
Monday
1.5 mile warm up and then 5 x 1km off 2 minutes, cool down. It was a bit of a brutal one this one. Short recoveries and hard paced reps.
Tuesday
A recovery run.
Wednesday
Long run workout – 2 mile warm up, 1 mile @ marathon pace, 3 mins recovery, 3 x 2 miles at half marathon pace off 3 minutes recovery, 1 mile at marathon pace, cool down – happy that I hit all the paces.
Weights session in the evening
Thursday
Running rest day
13 miles bike ride
Friday
Easy Run
Saturday
Parkrun – 1 bloody second off my PB! Ggggrrr! It’s there, it’s there badger!
Sunday
Easy Run
I need to make some decisions this week about my racing calendar for July so that I can start to get ready for my marathon block thereafter. It’s a shorter specific marathon block but I’m ultimately looking at this hybrid block as being the cumulative build into it.
Happy days!! Let’s see what next week brings (and for accountability, the strength needs to stay!)
