This week was 43 miles of running and 8 "miles" of pool-running.
(once again, a week late)
Definitely a tough week - I bailed on Tuesday's track workout due to too much chaos on the track - there was so much going on that I couldn't keep my gait under control. I returned on Friday, but my gait was still messy. And then Friday evening it became evident that I was getting sick. By Sunday I was feeling just well enough to run some short intervals with full recovery to work on gait without straining too much.
It's definitely felt like the medications I use to manage my muscles are not working well right now. Why? is the question I need to solve. Getting sick could definitely be a factor, but I don't think it's the only cause here. So, something to look into.
On a different note, I'm also tweaking my normal running schedule by making Wednesday into a double day. The reason is that I benefit from both a) running on trails and b) running in the Lever Runner at a reduced weight so that I can practice the mechanics of running at a faster pace while keeping the effort easy. But it's hard to fit both into a week, especially if I also need to do some days in the water.
By doubling on Wednesday, with a morning run on trails and a late lunch or post-work run on the Lever Runner, I can squeeze both into the week. So I'm going to make that switch for the next few weeks.
