Yep, this is my problem today! My first step of the 11 miles this morning was painful and it got worse as we went. The last two days have been gorgeous here in TX with temperatures in the mid-60s at run time. This has resulted in running through the pain. Not the best decision. I am now sitting on my butt with my compression socks on & VERY tired legs.
Time to re-evaluate my weekly schedule.....
Here is what my schedule should look like:
Monday - OFF
Tuesday - Run
Wednesday - OFF
Thursday - Run
Friday - OFF
Saturday - Run
Sunday -Run
Here is what I have been doing for the last 3 weeks:
Monday - Camp Gladiator
Tuesday - Run
Wednesday - Camp Gladiator
Thursday - Run
Friday - Run
Saturday - Run
Sunday - OFF
While the premise of this training was to train your legs to fight through the tiredness at the end of the marathon, 3 days straight is too much. The best way to figure out what I need to do is to talk through it with someone who understands. I am very fortunate to have a strong running support system & my group this morning gave me some great advice. Here is what we came up with:
Monday - RUN
Tuesday - Camp
Wednesday - RUN
Thursday - Camp
Friday - RUN
Saturday - RUN
Sunday - OFF
Looks pretty good! Wish me luck....
