Some lessons learned from last week. 1)My energy was tapped out by Friday and had to cancel some workouts in order to be good in others. 2) I'm not 20-something anymore and need to be a little more kind to my body.
So that leads me to believe there are 2 possibilities why I couldn't maintain training over the week. First, the volumes might be a little too aggressive. And second, I'm going too fast on some of the workouts.
I have serious doubts on the first possibility. I have been capable of going long distances for the longest time and the volume should not bother me. The second possibility is more plausible, that I'm going too hard on some of the training.
I was trying to hold off on the easy-hard training until I had a firm base, but it seems like I did the wrong thing. So this week I'm going to take it real easy when the workout warrants it. This way I can make through the end of the week without being run down.
This week will be strange. Monday I won't be training due to some work, so I start Tuesday. And Saturday I travel to Puerto Rico, so the bulk of the training will be in the middle of the week.
And this week promises to be frigid, so I have to find some way to run outside in these temperatures because there is no way, NO WAY, I'm going to run on the "dreadmill" all week.
Tuesday is an 8 mile run...we'll see how this goes in the cold...
