And despite taking a lot more days off recently to try and recover, I feel like I'm doing OK with regards to following my 'Summer Schedule'. I've skipped all of the long runs to give the shins a better chance to get to 100%, andI've been biking a little bit, and getting in some shoulder and core work in prep for the triathlon. Not perfect training, since I haven't touched the water yet, but I'll take what I can get.
Additionally, I've been able to continue the speedwork on Tuesday nights and get in a few solid sessions of hill repeats.
Summary of notable runs:
| 24-Apr | 4.0 | 8.0 | Intervals | 7.92 | 1200x2/800x2/600/400x2, drills, warm up/cool down | |||||||
| 27-Apr | - | 4.0 | Rest / Recovery | 0:07:30 | 8.42 | 10 hill repeats on heartbreak, 2m+ jog to and from. | ||||||
| 3-May | 5.0 | 9.0 | Hard or Hills | 0:07:30 | 8.42 | 10 hill repeats on heartbreak, 2m+ jog to and from. | ||||||
| 8-May | 4.0 | 8.0 | Intervals | 5.94 | 800/1000/1200/800 - I had another 1000/1200 to go, but the shin was really bothering me. I'm still pretty happy with the paces though considering my shin is definitely not ok. | |||||||
| 15-May | 4.0 | 8.0 | Intervals | 8.24 | 800/1600/800/1600/800 - rained again, but a solid workout. Noticed the shin still, unfortunately. |
I missed one speedwork-session due to work-related travel, and one hill-session thanks getting a nice pair of Sox tickets (the game where Beckett was booed off the mound...still fun!). Other than that, I've been making sure I get in those solid workouts and rest or cross train on any days where the shin is tender. I did take 6 days off completely from running prior to the 15th, and that seemed to help a little bit, but hopefully I don't need to do that again.
