Upper body workout. Difficult because I'm still sore from Wednesday. Ideally, I'd wait another day for upper body, but I'm doing a long run tomorrow and weight training ideals must be sacrificed for run training ideals. 5 miles on the treadmill at recovery pace. I could be running outside now, but I have to weigh several things. One is time. I'm already spending too much time with the increased mileage + the weight training. Running outside requires more preparation and more clothes which then results in more laundry and more mess. It is easier to just hop on the treadmill at the gym since I'm already there. The treadmill also helps me regulate pace, but that is like riding a bike with training wheels. I wore my compression sleeves for 24 hours. I'm still wearing them now. It helped. My shins were uncomfortable after about 8 minutes, but not so much that they would feel like they would explode. The pain was less intense and I got over it more quickly. I did not have to stop and stretch at all. Maybe the slower pace helped. |
