Week of April 23rd
Monday:
1. 5-ish (46-ish minutes) miles easy and hilly running, around the neighborhood
2. 45 minutes easy spinning
3. yoga 45 minutes
4. SUPER-core workout
Tuesday:
1. 9 miles (1:17-ish) steady uphill and hard downhill, Old Gardiner Road
2. legs lifting
This run was an out-and-back, all uphill on the way out, all downhill on the way back. Ran steadily uphill, then pushed hard on downhill. Felt awesome, except it was clear that I need new shoes.
Wednesday:
1. 5 miles (42 minutes) easy and flat, in the campground
2. 45 minutes easy spinning
3. yoga 45 minutes
4. SUPER-core workout
Eh, my right shin is achy because I ran hard yesterday in blown out shoes. Wish I wouldn't have done that, but I didn't know it until I was already mid-workout. I ran today in super-cushion-y goodness, but it's still achy. As per what's worked before, I may take a day of running rest tomorrow to get the ache to subside.
Thursday:
Full-on rest for the shin. Things are looking much better by the end of the day. Heh, bought new shoes today, though.
Friday:
7 miles hilly and easy, Eagle Creek Road
Saturday:
18+ miles hilly long run, Packsaddle Loop in the Big Hole Mountains, near Driggs, ID
This was a tough run. It featured climbing up high in the Big Hole Mountains, then climbing back down again. It featured some hard-to-travel snow up high and mud down low. I was a tired but happy girl afterwards.
Sunday:
45-ish miles (about 3 hours) cycling, Grand Teton National Park
Totals:
43 miles running, including 1 downhill workout
about 4:30 cycling
yoga x2
SUPER-core x2
legs lifting x1
I didn't meet my running mileage goal for the week. I was set back a little bit by a rest day for the shin. Also, the week's long run was a shorter long run than I anticipated. It was the requisite time-on-feet that I wanted, but hard-to-travel surfaces slowed us down a lot.
The Goal:
55-60 miles running, including 1 uphill and 1 downhill workout
4 or more hours cycling
The Schedule:
Monday- recovery running and easy spinning
Tuesday- hill workout
Wednesday- recovery running and easy spinning
Thursday- hill workout
Friday- recovery running and (maybe, time dependent) easy outdoor cycling
Saturday- long run
Sunday- long outdoor cycle
