Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013 - OPENcdban66 - 2013-05-05 9:26 AM bcraht - 2013-05-04 10:09 PM Is it too soon to ask a training question? Y'know how with running training plans, you build for 3 weeks then have a bit of a 'rest' week? Should that 4th week go back to the 2nd week volume, so actually decreasing for a week, or just do the 3rd week again? So fer'instance, using time: Week 1: 2hours 33 min total for the week Week 2: 2:45 Week 3: 3:05 Week 4: 3:05? or 2:45? Schpanks. Kirsten, how is your achilles doing? If you are going to be building volume, make sure you keep enough flexibility in your plan to react to what your body tells you. Chris, it's doing well. I have had no issues with it at all. I am absolutely listening to my body. More on that in a minute. All my runs to this week have been just super easy, barely getting out of Z1 on most of them. I have pushed a leeeeetle bit on a couple of my runs this week, the short ones, and it is ok. I have been running 6 days a week for 4 weeks I think and I am running faster at the same HR already. I am trying to work on recognizing my pace without having to look at my watch.... ETA: just looked at my splits for my run, and the last 5km were actually pretty even. So today I was out for my long run (6.5km!) and my right hip flexors are getting a little sore around km 3. Nothing new, although usually it is after a lot more distance. Started focusing on tightening my core--voila, hip soreness goes away. Man, I gotta start remembering to do those damn planks!!! Absolutely gorgeous day today--unusually warm for us this time of year. The past two years at this time of the year it has been cold and rainy. I gotta go see about getting a new lawn mower blade and get the grass cut! Edited by bcraht 2013-05-05 12:15 PM
