AM: 5.9 feeling good. Have been stretching after each run lately and I think it is really helping me feel not horrible. Mostly my left ITBand is the culprit.
PM: 5.9 + strides and stretches. Weighed in at 159.0 not bad at all. The run was cool so shouldnt be too much water weight. Trying to decide whether to do 1 more week of base after this week or go ahead with workouts next week. I started back hard 23 weeks from the Oct. 10 goal race but daniels plans are 24 weeks. Probably should get the full 6 weeks base before doing workouts. But if I am feeling bored or that it is too easy then I might go ahead with workouts next week.
AM: did an hour of eliptical because I felt like my joints needed a break from the pounding. Went decently hard and was sweating like a beast. Says I burned 900cal but probably not true.
PM: 5.9 The elliptical recently made me realize that I am overstriding and not having enough cadence. Jack Daniels says that you should have roughly 180 cadence no matter what speed. Lately even though going about 7:30 pace I have been bounding way too much and I think that has been contributing to my bone and joint pain. So I am gonna try to fix this.
AM: 5.9 Found at least a mile of trails that can replace a mile on the road. But I might have to measure it with a gps. But it is at least as far as the road. Should also help my recent joint stiffness.
PM: 5.9 Went to the national chowder competition in newport RI today so probably didnt follow the diet very well but it is just one day. For some reason my legs feel really sore in the muscles i guess because of the ellipticaling the past two days lol. But got better 2 miles in. Been paying close attention to cadence and i think it is helping. Joints feel way better already.
