So I finally went back to running to day - the first time since my tri for fun! It has been a good hiatus, but it was sure hard to get back into the swing of things. I have decided to do some nice easy short runs during my lunch break, since my after work schedule doesn't allow me to do much training until my grad school apps are over with.
Today was shitty, but it is probably a good thing that I am back to running. I am hoping that by March I can do 13 miles no problem.
I am also hoping that even though I am only doing a few miles at lunch that that qualifies as me as bi-athlete again, right?!
Also, went back to the Cal's swim practice on Monday for their recovery workout swim. It was good and no cramping happened - although it came close at one point! I think that I need to do some calf strengthening exercises when my foot is flexed and pointed so that my calf doesn't cramp during butterfly and breast.
Here's our recovery workout (we were in a 33m long pool so the work is a bit wonky):
Warm Up:
200m free
10 X 66m: 1st 66m: build up (i.e. start slow and get fast by the end), 2nd 66m: cruising pace, 3rd 66m: build down, 4th 66m: slow and 5th 66m: fast. Repeat
5 X 100m: 1st, 3rd and 5th are free style, 2nd and 4th were either free style drills or non-free
5 X 100m: 1st 100m: free, 2nd 100m: IM, 3rd 100m: free, 4th 100m: backwards IM, 5th 100m: free
4 X 133m: 1st 133m: regular IM, 2nd 133m: free, breast, back, free, 3rd 133m: free, free, back, free and 4th 133m: all free
Cool down:
200m free
And that's all she wrote folks! Enjoy!
