Tuesday: Swimming- 45minutes
Wednesday: Walked 2 miles then ran 3. Had parent teacher conferences from 2pm-7pm. Did my workout really early this morning at the Smith Field House at BYU.
Thursday: Took today off. Tina and I celebrated Valentines day and then drove up to her parents in Idaho Falls.
Friday: About 4ish miles. Not really sure.
Saturday: 8 mile long run. For this long run I incorporated some intervals. I ran a mile, walked .25 miles and then repeated these intervals for 8 miles.
Thoughts: I have had much better weeks. The thing that killed my training this week was lack of planning. Plus I unintentionally dialed things back to let some minor problems heal. The upcoming week will be better because I sat down and mapped out what I am going to do and when I am going to do it. Also, I am going to cross train this week and then do an easy six miles next Saturday. From here on I am going to run go back to my original training plan of two, quality, runs a week and three days of cross training instead of two days of junk miles and a poor Saturday long run. I think my body will thank me for this and I will see results similar to what happened between the Top of Utah half marathon and the Haunted Half.
And now, the shoe of the week.
The Montrail Fairhaven. This is my favorite shoe for long runs. It is being replaced however its' replacement, the Fluid Balance, has what appears to be a better upper. If you are interested, you can pick up a pair for pretty cheap on Back Country or Amazon.
