Training Week April 26th - May 2nd

Sunday, April 26th: I did a low impact Peloton bike to keep active and cross a little today. Monday, April 27th: Rest day, but keeping up with a Peloton activity everyday, did a ten minute yoga. Tuesday, April 28th: I didn’t think about run club until I posted on Strava and realized, maybe I do miss it…? I’m not sure but I think what I do miss is the long runs with that crew who I really enjoy running with. The Tuesday runs can be a bit daunting when preference with a work day but I suppose I should appreciate having had that in my life as an option. So, I’ll try to keep running on Tuesdays which, at least it won’t be at 6:30p. Wednesday, April 29th: I decided to go full Denis Morton today. I wanted to do something longer but didn’t actually want to do a long ride so two it was. Thursday, April 30th: I want to begin to bring back speed to my workouts, but the idea of running repeats seem blah. I enjoyed the Peloton runs so I tried out an interval run. It went pretty well. It’s fun having someone in your ear who talks through the whole time of the run and makes it go so much faster. I had a bit of stitch the first half, but managed to keep it together and paces under 8 minutes which was my goal. Friday, May 1st: I wanted a little fun in my day so a Cody Rigsby Backstreet Boys ride seemed like the perfect fit. Saturday, May 2nd: I did my long run today and it was nice. I wanted to keep my pace down, but I fell into the normal rhythm once I was out there. I suppose it could be that my paces aren’t quite what I expect them to be, but I also want to focus on the enjoyment of a long run and going slower, in general, makes things more enjoyable since you aren’t dying. But this was a positive little jaunt for me and farther than I’ve run in a long time.
