Week Ending April 30, 2011

This week was a good week in my training plan to go big. It was right after a race and I didn't have another race planned for a few weeks. Mount Washington was still two months away too. On Sunday I ran a double and was sore from the mountain race the previous day. My calves were especially sore. Monday was another double including a 16 mile run in the afternoon. Tuesday was another double and I had approximately 58 miles in three days. On Wednesday I went a moderate 10. Thursday was a workout consisting of warm-up, 5x2000, 1 easy mile, another 2000, and a long cool-down. Friday was another double: long run in the morning and a moderate 10 in the afternoon. My calves were still sore and there's really no wonder why. I mean I ran a race on Saturday and then pounded the miles all week with no rest days or easy days. After running 10 more miles on Saturday, I had over 120 miles logged for the week. My calves were sore, I was tired, and I accomplished my goal of going big this week. 120 miles for the week.
