Wrapping up another week of training, and though I tell it to others often, I did it myself this past week…that is listening to your body when you are feeling fatigue and/or pain. What was my issues? Shoes with a little over 330 miles on them!  My right shin was on fire during one of the runs, So, I took an extra rest day instead of risking injury. Figure it was better to not get injured and way better than hobbling around like a penguin!

Strava Stats – Jul 14, 2024 – July 21, 2024

  • 26.7 miles ran
  • 6hs 8mins time on feet
  • 1316 ft elevation

Workouts & Run Recap: 

  • Mon: Rest Day
  • Tue: 65 mins – Intervals. It Sucked.  Right shin/calf weren’t happy.  Wheels came off early!
  • Wed: 45 mins – did F3 Vesper. Goal was 12min pace, did 11 felt fine. much better than Tuesday
  • Thur: 65 min – intervals scheduled but skipped due to shin/calf. Ordered new shoes that arrive tomorrow
  • Fri: Rest day
  • Sat: 120mins – My new shoes arrived a day earlier which was good news as the ole ones had 330 miles on them.  How did they do? They are just “okay”.  Not loving them. Full review coming!
  • Sun: 45 mins – Not too bad. Short and sweet. Humid of course.

Overall Recap:

Not a great week. Not a terrible week. A bit fatigued.  I did get in the weight workouts so that’s a strong positive! Actually still sore from bench press and legs were a bit heavy on the Sunday morning run from squats/lunges on Saturday!  Oh, and I'm almost done with the BC100K race video. Should be done by Tuesday latest. 🙂
