A slow session that was supposed to be run quickly!
In the morning I did 10km with 7 intervals ranging from 30s to 90s.
I tried to include some hills and was happy just to vary my pace even though the recovery portions were very slow!
After that I did some leg strengthening exercises including squats and concentric hamstring work (ie leg curls) with minimal weight. Even with the lack of weight I could feel the stiffness/soreness later in the day!
In the evening I was running out of time so could only manage a 30 min exercycle and my 8 minute abs video! It’s a great way of maximising ab work in a short period of time!
I was very thankful for the leg massage Rheanna gave me which included quads, hamstrings and calves! I could feel the left calf was very tight and the front of the shins are a little sore with what feels like excessive pounding as I am not use to this mileage.
Tomorrow is the midweek longer run, and then I am looking forward to a day off running on Wednesday!
