Legs felt fresh towards the end, like real fresh! 30 minutes biking afterwards with James on the rest of his run.
Tuesday: 3 miles
Easy run with XC team on trails. Biked 20 minutes in the afternoon as transportation to/from campus.
Wednesday: 2 miles on Ledges trail
Hilly=good practice, definitely plays tricks on me physiologically and as a result, mentally. Biked 10 miles with James in the AM on his tempo run.
Thursday: 5 miles
Mostly trails with XC team. Nice distance day. Foot handled it well, slightly achy afterwards though.
Friday: 3 miles
Hampton Hills trails with Brianna. Can't wait to build up distance to support my fitness on hills. Biked 20 minutes as transportation to/from campus, swam 1000 meters, very refreshing. Massaged heel under spa jets- really worked out the tightness!
Saturday: 20.6 mile bike ride
Simulated a long run on the Hike and Bike Path. Heart rate was pretty consistent. It was hot and I should have worn sun screen. Handled the inclines well. No foot pain!
Sunday: 40 min bike, 10 mins of pool stuff
Biked on Towpath and to/from campus, was going to swim but forgot goggles and cap so just did some strength stuff in the pool and then massaged my feet under the spa jets again.
Total: 16 miles running, 4 hours biking, 1000 meters swimming
Finding it somewhat of a challenge to hold back with the running but cross training has helped release some of the tension and keep me in shape. I do feel in shape. And all of the runs this week were based off feeling and not paces. Each week, I add 1-2 miles and as sad as it sounds, I look forward to that. But focusing on the little things makes being patient a little easier.
