Monday Jan. 24: Did 3 sets of 20 of deep squats at 95 lbs. Did 3 sets of 20 of standing elevated calf raises at 115 lbs. Did 3 sets of 20 of leg extensions at 40 lbs. Did 3 sets of 20 of hamstring curls at 40 lbs. Did 3 sets of 20 of seated calf raises at 25 lbs. Took two scoops of Recoverite in 8 oz. of water approximately 35 mins. after workout finished.
Ran my Monday "just getting time on my feet/miles in" over the noon hour today. Just under two miles, total time of 14:23. Felt somewhat winded afterwards, but legs still had plenty of kick left in them. Note: this run was after weight-training the legs this morning.
Tues. Jan. 25: ran 4 quarter-mile sprints, with a quarter-mile walk in between each. My times were: Lap 1: 1:10; Lap 2: 1:12; Lap 3: 1:20; Lap 4: 1:14. Fairly decent sprint times, considering I haven't done any sprint work since who knows when. These were, without a doubt, painful and unenjoyable! Give me a 20 mile run anyday over these. It's going to require commitment and determination to stick with the speed work.
Wed. Jan. 26: Wednesday milage day. Put in just over two-miles over the noon hour. Total time: 15:51. My legs are fairly sore today from lifting on Monday and doing sprints yesterday. And, I'm a little under the weather, so to speak.
Thurs. Jan. 27: I went from a little under the weather to a lot under the weather. I am taking today off due to illness.
P.S. I ended up taking the rest of this week off, including Saturday's planned 10 miles. :(
