So after snowmagedon, bad shoes that splitted my feet in half, a pulled calf, and an irritated IT band I am finally back on a schedule if not track. I can't make up training time lost and can't train for my longest, toughest endurance run to date in just a week. The smart thing is continue to let my body recover so that on March 17th I am as strong and solid I can be.
All these problems were not a total of waste though. I learned new valuable stretching techniques, re-discovered R.I.C.E and now own a foam roller and stretched helper for my calves.
This is about taper week now so that I will pick right there. It will also allow me to continue running at a good level without straining myself. The remaining schedule is as follows:
3/5 - Monday - Rest
3/6 - Tuesday - 4 miles
3/7 - Wednesday - Cross-train
3/8 - Thursday - 6 miles
3/9 - Friday - Rest
3/10 - Saturday - Lake Sammamish half-marathon - 13.1 miles
3/11 - Sunday -rest/Cross-train (pool 1 hr?)
3/12 - Monday - 4 miles
3/13 -Tuesday - 3 miles
3/14 - Wednesday - 2 miles
3/15 - Thursday - Rest
3/16 - Friday - Rest
3/17 - Saturday - Chucknanut 50k - 31 miles
Thinking of doubling up during the week with 1-2 miles runs in the morning as well. I did that last week to break back into a running routine without adding too many miles at once too fast. It worked great.
