For this week I will probably do right around what I did last week. One more low key week before I start cranking out the miles for St. G. I also promised my self I would start back with the weights after Ogden so I would like to do this at least twice.
*Just thought I would put in here what I did before Ogden to stay injury free. 1-daily stretching, I do at least 15-30 mins of stretching before I go to bed. 2-I get regular massage (every other week, I would get one evey week but don't have time) and chiropractic work done (about 4-6 time a year). 3-I scrape my legs when ever I feel a twinge and after my long runs just to clean them out. 4- I don't ignore anything 5- I take a recovery week every 3-4 weeks ei. I cut my mileage down so I can handle higher mileage. 6-I eat extreamly well. 7-one more thing I forgot is I get more sleep than I use to (7-8 hrs instead of 5-6 hrs)
Wtihout all this I don't think I would have been able to run mileage into the high 70s without some sort of injury. My best advise is to listen to your body the FIRST time. It always gives you warnings (this is even hard for me all I want to do is run, run, and run some more.) |
