Night Running RAWKS!!!
Last week was a light-work out week. All the stuff I've read states that training goes in 4 week cycles: 3 weeks intense, 1 week light.
It amuses me that over and over I read, "and during the light week take a day of recovery after a long ride or run. And that does not mean doing a light run on your recovery day; running is NOT recovering."
It cracked me up because I'm exaclty the kind of person who needs to be told that. You can hike, do yoga, walk your dog, but no running.
Last week would, in hindsight, be my light week. It was also me week for eating like a teen. Two words: Scale Avoidance. Anyway...
This bit is super-boring for the rest of the world. I jot it here and then need to move it to my tri-training diary.
This week I'm back in my groove. And it feels so good. I love how I feel when I eat right.
Monday: clean eating. Oatmeal - fruit - salad (w/ fish/ chicken) - three bean salad - low carb wrap w/ steak, goat cheese, avocado
Monday night I ran for the first time in a week. I assumed there would be pain (there was), but I didn't expect to hit my race pace for most of 45 minutes and nail my sprint at the end.
Breakdown
Pace: 9min mile/ 2% incline for most.
Calories: 600+
First 5 min: right shin tight. Knock off incline.
Slowly increased incline to 2% after that.
At 25 min mark: right leg had shooting nerve pain from knee up inside of leg. Leg tried to collapse less than a minute later. Couldn't shake it off. (WTF?) Walked for 1 min, then resumed pace. Recurred 10 min later, but forced through it. 2 minute ramp up and sprint at end. Felt great. Hit lactic threshold. Nothing left for weight lifting - went home.
No Wildcat today. Slept hard and didn't wake up for (4am) alarm. Go figure. Will have to do Wildcat on Wednesday.
Today.. right leg is sore. Overall kind of wobbly - not too thrilled with multiple flights of stairs.
