Training week July 26th - August 1st

Sunday, July 26th: I defintely did not ahve the long ("long") run feel today so managed 5.5 but added on a 30 minute Peloton. I keep wavering between adding in running speed work and calling the bike my speed work. This was an attempt to keep the time for a Sunday long run up even if it wasn't all running. 

Monday, July 27th: Still resting. 

Tuesday, July 28th: PR on the Peloton, woot. It was a long holding interval ride which I hadn't done before but it was good. It was interesting because it was more like running and those hold than a lot of the other stuff that I do on the bike which I'm still getting used to. I also somewhere here adjusted my bike a bit and that seems to be making a small, but perhaps big, difference. 

Wednesday, July 29th: See above about what I am doing re: speed biking v. running. This was a Peloton tread run outside. It took a little adjustment because the run was inclined based, but it wasn't too bad. It was amazing how having a voice in my ear made the 5.5 really go by fast. The downside is my phone is old and I need to like unload stuff to save the tread lass. 

Thursday, July 30th: A work from home day that was a disaster I think. I had a wicked headache and was more stressed and annoyed than when I go in. It's too bad because I think the change would be nice but I am not sure if it will work for me. There's too much to be done, I worry and I am not sure I am successful at home. I did a run in hopes it would help make me feel better. It at least didn't make me feel worse.  

Friday, July 31st: A last minute plan change had this as a rest day. 

Saturday, August 1st: Since I skipped yesterday's run, I put in a 5K along with the bike in lieu of doing a longer Peloton. Felt pretty good and I think I may embrace this double stuff especially if I'm not going to do OT soon.
