Mon-crossfit, tues 4 miles, wed rest, thurs run 4 miles, fri travel WOD, sat 8 miles or speedwork (depending on work schedule)
I took two weekends ago off from a long run with the intention of running 13 miles this past weekend. HOwever, I got really sick. And no long run (hardly any runs...1 I think since two weeks ago?!?!?!) And of course this coming weekend I am traveling all weekend, so I won't be able to fit in a double digit run again. I just feel a bit deflated.
I am loving crossfit and hoping that will really help my running!
Planned: recovery week. However, looks like complete rest at least for a few days. I have a viral infection in my lungs. Rx'd an inhaler, steroid nasal spray, and antihistamine for my congestion. I'm so frustrated. Dr says as soon as my breathing capacity returns I can go as hard as I want/need. I have a f/u next Tuesday.
Vents: well, obviously
AWs: had a great 3 week block, completing every workout with quality. Rode my longest ride ever (86 miles). Had a good long run (14 miles), and I'm swimming better than ever. I hope to kick this thing, and get back for one more good 3 week block and then it's taper time!
What are you training for? Mountain bike racing in general. I have a 3 hour XC race and a traditional XC race in April. My "A" race is not til June.
Training plan for the week? Sunday: 20 mile mountain bike ride, Monday: 60 minute recovery ride, Tuesday: 90 minutes w/intervals, Wed.: 24 mile hilly group ride, Thursday-Friday: Off, Sat.: 3 hour ride
Any issues or vents? I'm still dealing with my back injury, heating it and taking the meds the doctor gave me. If it's not better in 3 weeks I have a follow up w/the sports med doc.
AW's or highlights from last week? I only ate one bowl of ice cream last weekend.

I have a couple of spring races, but I'm still trying to heal my hamstring, so I'm just doing them as fun runs. I think the next race I'll really train for is MCM on 10/26.
Training plan: M - 5 mi w/3 @ tempo T - 3 mi recovery + strength W - 6 mi Th - strength and yoga F - 5 mi Sat - rest Sun - CB 10 miler
Issues or vents: I still have a strained upper left hamstring, but it's slowly getting better. My doctor says I can still run, as long as I don't do speedwork or hills, so I'm grateful for that. I feel like I've lost a lot of speed since last fall.
Sorry all the sickies! It's been a long winter for sure. Hope you kick it soon! Sole of the city 10K 4/12 Training: taking it easy this week. Maybe get a few speed sessions in between now and 4/12 Vents: none Aw: my half on Sunday! I feel like I'm coming back. It was a boost I needed.
What are you training for? Date> I have a 3.5mi Corporate Challenge on 5/15, other than that, I think I'll just be focusing on my next half, which is on 10/12. May do a 4mi race on 7/4
Training plan for the week? Taking it easy. My calves are a little tight, and I'm exhausted from flying and getting home late last night. Hope to maybe get out there by the end of the week before the temps plummet again. I'm thinking of using the FIRST program to keep my base, then train for my half.
Any issues or vents? I feel really good, except that my left ear is bothering me. Rain was basically pounding on it for a couple hours on Saturday. I'm hoping it doesn't turn into an infection.
AW's or highlights from last week? I finished my 1/2 on Saturday. Nowhere close to a PR, but I got through a really tough course in crappy conditions.
What are you training for? Date? Peachtree Road Race (10K), July 4
Training plan for the week?
M - Rest Tu - 3-4 mi run W - 30 min strength circuit Th - Rest F - 30 min strength circuit Sa - 5 mi run Su - 3-4 mi run or rest
Any issues or vents? Chafing. I had chafing on a freakin' 3-mile run. I guess it's all this flesh that's been rearranged and not moving quite as smoothly as it used to. Arg, I did not think I'd be digging out the body glide this early in the year!
AW's or highlights from last week? I ran on Sunday and didn't pee myself! LOL.
