Ran to the rec center, aquajogged, then ran back. Tommorrow I get to run 25 mins!!! In a week or two, my mileage will begin to ramp up. Once I can run 30mins pain free, I will jump up a bit more than 5mins every three days. I am contemplating doubles when my mileage reaches the 65-70ish mile mark. Alhtough this mileage is not too high for most runners (on this blog, on my team etc...), I definitely feel it, especially with the density of our training come mid-season. From what I have found, my sweet spot lies between 70 and 75 miles a week (right now). If I run 3's and 7's or 6's & 4's daily (with a long & medium long run mixed in once a week, I think I will put less stress on my body while getting some great running in. Honestly, I need to put some miles under my belt. Everyone on my team has over double my total mileage (even some of the incoming freshman!). I just need to put some steady aerobic miles in the bank. |
