Day 3 of the plan. Four easy miles with hill sprints, which I did today on the hill on Fleming going up into the park. Again watched my HR which was lower than Sunday night, even though I was running a little faster. Probably because it was about 10 degrees cooler today than Sunday night, but also could be because I was well-rested and much less stressed out. Mebbe a little of both. I'll continue to watch and compare that.
Did my core work yesterday. Except for a little torture session called "staff," which is holding the pushup position with your elbow bent alongide the torso and chest just off the ground, nothing I hadn't done before. Staff killed my deltoids, which I don't think is what it's designed to work, but I could be wrong.
I'm doing a little online coaching for an RWOL forumite named Janie, who IIRC is getting back into running after time off to have a baby. Not sure why she needs help, since she's run a sub-1:30 half and I believe has run Boston before. She had hired a coach but fired him because he wasn't giving her the feedback she wanted. I told her I'd help, and it'd be worth what she pays for it -- nothing. She's also planning to run CIM, so I'll get a chance to see firsthand if my coaching did any good. |
