Enough recovery after the race and I am finally over the flu completely. I am on a double-a-day again. Monday was spin class and weights plus 1 hr run. Tuesday was speedwork with shorter intervals and then another one with longer, plus plyometrics. Today was a spin class, stairmaster and weights plus 1.5 hr trails later. Tomorrow 1.5 hrs twice, hopefully will make both times to the trailhead.
Yesterday was kind of funny. I woke up at 5am for the track workout, and it's a thick fog outside. At least it wasn't raining! That's actually how I decided it's time to head back to track. So I ran there, warmed up for a couple of more laps, and as I was ready to start - I realized I left the watch at home!! So much for speed...I guess all that free running makes me forget bare essentials. Since I was already there, I decided to go by effort. Honestly, it was quite misearble. I haven't done track since October (I had done some treadmill repeats, but those weren't great either). I did 5 x 800 with 400 rests. Have no idea of time, afarid even to guess. But my heart was jumping out, so I'd say I did. On top of it my chast was doing such a weird wheezing sound, it was lamost scary. Total run lasted an hour. Later at night I did 2 x 3M intervals, and felt much better at it. My HR was pretty steady at 165. Yep, I got myself a HRM, and now just have to find out somehow where is my max, so I can gage my workouts. Any ideas?

Man, you're one busy one! Don't you ever get tired?
No clue on the hr thing....
I think she meant hr=heart rate silly girl.
I am glad you are over the flu and I hope whatever plans you have work out best for you. You know I am on your side???
wow that's a lot of comprehensive info jas....
Olga that's some schedule you have there, I should print this out and tack it on my "motivation" wall. My back to training schedule has been light.
My tip for the max HR: run a 5k race. During my last 5k I unexpectedly found out that my max HR was 188, rather than 186 as I had previously thought
You have an outstanding good and well structured site. I enjoyed browsing through it » » »
