I planned on a 10-12 mile run today, but 4 miles into my run, my stomach started cramping. After 2 bathroom stops it wasn't any better, so I decided to call it good. I have a really sensitive stomach sometimes, and I haven't ever figured out exactly what it is that sets it off.
So, I ended up with a few less miles than I planned on, but still fell within the 45-50 miles for this week. I didn't get in a 10 miler for my long run, but I did 10 miles on Monday with a fartlek in it. I ran 2 fartlek workouts, and put in 2 consecutive training weeks. So, despite the small snafu today, it was a pretty good week.
Next week my mileage plan is 50-55. I would like to run 12 on my long run, and keep two fartlek workouts in the week. My goal for next week is to add in some more gym time (cross training and strength work.) I will add two gym workouts in next week. |
