Monday – 1.3 mile morning walk, 30 minute afternoon ride and a bit of stretching.
Tuesday – “easy” 5K morning run, lunch yoga session and a 45 minute power zone endurance ride. No issues riding with the hamstring, but running still not comfortable.
Wednesday – morning walk and an afternoon “Rolling 800s” run. Plan called for 3 x 0.5mi at 6:25/mi, 0.5mi at 7:45/mi. Struggled on the faster intervals again.
Thursday – morning walk and an afternoon power zone endurance ride on the Peloton.
Friday – morning walk, some extra strength work and another afternoon ride.
Saturday – finally a “decent” run! WU 3 reps of 0.37mi at 6:25/mi, 90s walking rest 2 reps of 0.37mi at 6:15/mi, 90s walking rest 1 rep of 0.37mi at 6:10/mi, 90s walking rest CD Hit the local track to do the reps. Bitterly cold but I managed to hit all goals with minimal discomfort. A step in the right directions, perhaps?
Sunday – skipped the long run (snow day), but did an enjoyable 90 minute power zone endurance ride instead.
Not exactly a high running mileage week, but at least my cycling is improving. Saturday’s workout was quite encouraging, so looking forward to next week to see how things are progressing. No closer to a One City Marathon decision, but the clock is ticking and missing this week’s long run doesn’t really help the cause. We’ll see.
