Monday
I slept good last night, but I went to bed too late. I also had too much to drink. I exceeded my 2 drink limit.
Wednesday
Yesterday's goal was to get to bed earlier and I managed that, and I feel much better today. We didn't attend yoga last night. I'm not completely sure why we didn't. I do intend to make it part of my training moving forward.
I registered for the Myrtle Beach Dasani Half Marathon today. 22 weeks and counting down.
Thursday
Last night I read an interesting article Lesson from an Olympian by Alan Culpepper. The biggest take for me from the article is "Volume Matters". "You really are better off doing no [structured speed] workouts, and doing a consistently higher volume of miles more consistently and more days per week. You’re going to get fitter by doing that, rather than doing two workouts, and nothing the other days."
This has got me thinking about restructuring my plan. I typically run Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and take Wednesday and Sunday's off. I'm thinking about going to a 10 day cycle.
- 5 non speed days (volume block)
- recovery day
- speed day, easy day, speed day (speed block)
- recovery day
- repeat 10 day cycle
Friday
My track meet was cancelled this morning due to dangerous conditions at the track. Flash flooding today!
Saturday
Up late on Friday night picking Justin up at the airport and up early going to the airport. Two good flights later and I'm in Koreatown, Los Angeles. I'm going to bed west coast early.
Going to bed on west coast time and getting up on east coast time. I've probably ran more miles since I've been here than hours slept.
Morning session. Dumbbell shoulder press and snatch. Chest press and high row. Body weight lunges and squats. TM 5 miles. Stretch.
