Friday, March 4, 2011 -
AM - 2 miles @ 7:00 pace (14:00)
PM - Supposed to run the 5k at North Central College in Naperville, IL. Decided not to run it as my hip flexor was bothering me enough where the risk-reward of racing was not great enough. Although, I could have raced we decided to be smart about it. I got in the pool for 45 minutes then in the afternoon.
Saturday, March 5, 2011 - (In the pool)
15 minute warm up with 5 x 20 seconds bursts (striders)
Workout - 2 x 9:30 at 5k race pace with 6 minute jog rest in between. This workout simulates doing 2 x 3000m on the track or roads.
15 minute cool down
Sunday, March 6, 2011 - 15 mile long run. Half on the treadmill and half in the pool. First 8 miles were on the treadmill and after about 3 miles my hip loosened up and I felt good. My breathing was fine which means I have kept my condition strong doing pool workouts. I ran an average of 6:15 mile pace for the first 8 miles and then jumped in the pool as soon as I could for 45 minutes at the same effort level as I did on the treadmill.
