August is almost gone and so is some of my running enthusiasm. This weekend really challenged my resolve and I came out lacking. It did not help that I had bowel issues all weekend.
I read an article that said you may not have to train fast to run fast. It claimed that a more moderate approach with an emphasis on building stamina and endurance over an extended period of time may produce better results with less chance for injury. I am constantly sore and achy and this leads to me almost dreading my runs.
My energy level is so low today, I may still be feeling the effects of my weekend illness.
My goal for today is to complete a strength session at lunch and a TM run after work (easy, no more than 2 miles).
Noon workout - Band shoulder exercises, push press, high pull and, hang snatch #75, 3 sets of 8, 5, and 3, glute machine and hamstring curl 3 sets of 8 each, plank x 1:30.
PM workout - 2 mile run.
