Weekly Recap 12/03/17
Red treadmill face.
Holy crap, working is hard! Whew. But, a solid mileage week even with starting my new job and adjusting to different hours.
Monday: 6 miles at 6 p.m. after work. Should’ve gone in the morning, didn’t. 48 min/144 AHR.
Tuesday: 5 miles at 6 p.m. after work. Should’ve gone in the morning, didn’t. Morgan first mile and the first 4 with Mr. Chic. Family fun day. Should’ve been speedwork but I just couldn’t. Too dark. Too tired. 41 min/147 AHR.
Wednesday: 8 miles before work on the treadmill with 4 miles at 7 min pace. Making up for missing Tuesday’s workout. 60 min/161 AHR. Treadmill means I can see what I’m doing, I don’t have to stop, and nobody tries to run me over. Taught Pilates after work.
Thursday: 5 miles before work, 42-ish minutes (I forgot to stop it at one point so it’s probably a minute off), 141 AHR. Taught Pilates after work. I moved the hill workout scheduled for this day to being part of Saturday’s long run. Morgan first .70.
Training buddy.
Friday: 6 miles easy, 47 min/147 AHR. Before work! Finding a groove. Morgan first mile.
Saturday: 14 miles with 2×10 minute hills, 1:50:33/150 AHR (WEIRD), 666’ elevation gain (WEIRD). Suckered a friend into going with me. Solid run.
Sunday: 6 miles easy with same friend, 48 min/136 AHR. Great weather all week. Lifted after.
Totals: 50 miles run, 145 minutes Pilates and strength training.
I think you had a great week considering you were getting used to work and the new job. You got a lot of miles in and still ran after work even if your mileage wasn’t as much as you wanted. Remember it will take a few weeks to adjust to the job and the new running/training schedule.
