I had another relatively high week of mileage, which was unplanned but oh so nice. I know I keep saying this, but I LOVE the workout flexibility I have right now not training for race. While I do love a structured training plan, I also really love just working out for fun. Because that’s what it really should be about – having fun and staying healthy. And that’s sometimes hard to remember when I’m trying to hit certain mileage and/or paces. I’m also really enjoying spending more time on the driving range now that the weather is nicer!
That being said, I just scheduled a new Strava training plan to start in mid-June. (Strava is my go-to for training plans and I’m planning a blog post on it at some point!) I’m planning to run the High Country Half Marathon in Boone with my friend Christian. (If you never read Christian’s post on the case FOR carbs, it’s a must-read.) I ran that half a few years ago and it was the HARDEST half marathon I’ve ever run, even though I was the third overall female. So I’m already considering myself nuts for agreeing to run it again.
Anyway, here’s what last week’s workouts looked like!
M – CrossFit
I did this workout outside and it was so nice. It was slightly chilly with occasional rain sprinkles, so it was a good excuse to wear my favorite leggings! (It’s much hotter this week so I’m back to working out in shorts.)
leggings | shoes (on sale!) | vest | shirt | sunglasses
T- 7 rainy miles with Kate, 8:27 pace + CrossFit
W- 7.3 miles, 8:31 pace
Th – 4.6 miles with Ali, 8:36 pace + evening driving range outing
workout tank (OBSESSED) | sports bra
F- 4 treadmill miles, 8:30 pace + Oiselle Dirty Dozen
Shorts | tank (I promise I washed it after running in it the day before) | shoes | Garmin | earbuds
Sa – CrossFit Partner WOD
Leggings | tank | sports bra | shoes
Su- 10.0 miles with Kate, 8:07 pace + 2 hours on the driving range with Tommy
How I’m Feeling: Pretty good. My hamstrings and glutes are getting a little grumpy, similar to what happened when training for the Wrightsville Beach Marathon (race recap here). So, rather than running this morning, I did a 20 minute flow using a free podcast. And I’ve been trying to foam roll for at least 5 minutes after CrossFit and stretching for 10 minutes after running. I don’t always get it in, but I’m working on it!
