Yesterday I headed over to the HDR speed workout. I warmed up with 3 laps. I prescribed a workout of 5 x
1 minute fast,
1 minute recover easy,
2 minutes fast,
1 minute recover easy,
1 minute fast,
1 minute recover easy,
2 minutes fast,
3 minutes recover and regroup between sets…
I made it through the first 1, then 1, then about half of the first 2 when my left adductor acted up and shut me down…. just like last week…
Looks like more time of rest is needed. I will take a couple of days off and then get on the GO as much as possible.
On another note, the other day I googled Yoga for Runners. I came upon a website within the Runner’s World website with videos of a whole series of yoga routines designed for runners. On Saturday and Sunday I tried the one for beginners… wow… It was pretty tough. I think I will try to do this 3 or 4 times per week and see if I can improve my range of motion and stability.
What happened to base training? 4x 20-30 mile weeks before starting speed work.
Yes, knowing what to do and doing it are two separate things
