Week 2 Training

WEEKLY MILEAGE: 39km TOTAL MILEAGE: 75km

Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Sadly no running. In my defense, I did need to heal my leg, it was getting pretty bad. The other factor was of course kayaking at Elora all day Saturday and Sunday.

Thursday May 29th 2008
Did and easy warm up, then uphill sprints, not overly fast. My leg is still hurting so I didn't want to push it too badly. I also have done no major speed work, so it was a bit of a change. Leg felt okay while running, but is soar now.
2.5km warm up
10X 170meter uphill sprints at the road at Harris Park
1km back home Total distance: 6.5km (including recovery)
Also hit the weights (briefly). Did 8x's the plates without too much effort, and did a few more reps. Felt a bit stronger than a month ago, I think the kayaking may have something to do with it.


Wednesday May 28th 2008
Ran up to Wonderland to get my hair cut, continued running until the Bridge at Thames Valley Golf Course. Decent pace at times on the way home. Leg is starting to hurt behind my right knee (a pulling sensation). I will try stretching more. Total distance: 12.5 km

Tuesday May 27th 2008

Easy run through new trails in around North East section of Western Uni. Trails were pretty nice, although somewhat rocky in narrow making for a slower pace. NEED to do some strenght work tomorow. Approx. 10km

Monday May 26th 2008

Easy run through path along Thames River towards Western. Followed it until the 'Frisbee' field then ran home along Richmond to pick up my bike. I really should be getting some speed work in soon. Approx. 10km
