Took yesterday completely off.
Then this morning ran 5 miles in 45 mins on the dreadmill. It actually went by fairly quick since I was doing an extended ladder interval session. It hurt, but I am maintaining my running really well now. I upped my mileage 10% from last week, and I can up my mileage another 10% this coming week if I just do 4, 4, and 5 mile runs.
Monday the 5th of January I will be on a treadmill doing my anaerobic threshold(AT) testing which will set me up for my first running race on the 10th. I am all signed up as a member of the New York Road Runners club (nyrr.org). This race will be a 5 milers around Central Park. I have never ran around Central Park, but I look forward to it and I hope that it won't be too freaking cold!
I refer to the dreadmill as the hamster wheel. Not my favorite place to be, either. Sounds like you are really cooking and setting yourself up for a great season!
ReplyDeleteI swim at Premier Athletic in Montrose-- its between Croton and Peekskill. If you are interested, let me know and I will give you more info. I think they are looking to open the program to folks who are not members of the club.
