I realize that after taking two weeks off from exercise after my 10k race to let injuries heal. I may have jumped back into too much of a weekly mileage increase. I will have to take a step back and slowly transition into full time running with a lot of cross training between now and then.
Tue 30min cross+strength- Split my cross training between the stationary bike and elliptical and then did my two usual circuits of weights.
Wed 4mi run- I went to the gym to cross train since my legs feel really tired and sore. I tried to run a lap around the gym basketball court but couldn't bare more than a few steps. I biked for 40min to give my legs a break from running-like activity.
Thr 2mi run+swim- I went to the gym and used the elliptical for 20min in order to get some more time on my legs for the week. The session was nice and practically pain free.
Sat 3mi run- I did the 3mi run around Mount Holly with a fair amount of success. I did have achillies pain during the run but my legs felt recovered and happy after the run as well as the next morning
Sun 7mi run- In an effort to not further aggravate my achillies as my long runs the past two weeks seem to have done, I decided to postpone this long run until tomorrow when I can do most of it as cross training on the bike and elliptical.
My body has been feeling more and more tired over the last month. We have been very bad at going to bed at a decent hour and I've been getting only 5-7hour of sleep for the past few weeks. I think this is catching up with me and not allowing my body to recover from my training.
