rest day from running. "crosstrain" per Hal. this is another step up week in miles, so i am going to stay backed off from the weights this week. the demands on my body from running seem worse, and I don't want to burn the candle at both ends. I still went into the gym at 5:30am, but i did a 20 min AMRAP of Cindy (as many rounds as possible in 20 min - 5 strict pull ups, 10 push ups, 15 air squats). pull ups were strict, no kipping or swinging or flailing or bullshit. got 6 full rounds plus a few pull ups. then 3x10 of GHD sit ups and GHD back ext. felt OK, but i will likely skip tues gym and do this again on thursday. at least for this week, this is the best course for me.
so there you have it. as the weeks go by and the mileage mounts, i am trying to listen to my body. i am unwilling to reduce my running and i will fight to follow the plan with everything i have, but i am making sacrifices to my strength maintenance plan. i have felt this would be the way things went since i started, but its still tough to make the call.
7/14/14. strength 4. protein shake. coffee. almonds/peanuts/cashews. soft taco (flour tortilla, taco beef, cheese, black beans). peas/corn. apple. cottage cheese. salami/cheese. shish-kabobs (pork, peppers, onions). green beans. national dessert of canada. lots of water.
