Thought this would be my comeback week, but heavy and extremely tight legs derailed my progress to the point where I wouldn't race. Definitely very disappointing, was questioning if my season was over.
Monday: 7 Miles
Went on a new route with 6 or so guys called Chain and Back. I was disappointed the trail were so wide they might well be dirt roads, but on the way back we took a detour for a twisty single-track with stuff to jump over. Actually felt good on this run and definitely enjoyed it.
Tuesday: 6 Miles
Missed practice as usual on Tuesday and did a solo short rose (5ish) plus two laps around the oyster river HS track. It was raining out pretty good but I enjoyed it. My watch did not; I skipped loading satellites after several minutes of waiting and the pace was off the entire run. On and off tightness this run, but overall uncomfortable.
Wednesday: 6 Miles
This was the run that ended me (temporarily). 3xMile workout @5:10 w/90s recovery. Should be really easy, but legs (both calves and quads) got so tight/heavy just 200m into each rep. Legs were like structures of cement that took so much extra effort to move that normal. Difficulty: 5/5. Tightness: 9/10
Thursday: 9 Miles
Warm-up plus Jenkins loop. I was tight going up it didn't feel too bad and otherwise I felt great. 3 miles in I completely seized up in my calves and I was so tight it was borderline painful. Tightness: 9/10.
Friday: 5 Miles
Ran the paul short course with the team. Somehow even tighter than the previous day, it probably was painful. So tight I had trouble keeping up at 6:50s pace and would have to push to stay with the group on the hills. The worst tightness I've ever had in my life. Tightness: 10/10.
Saturday: 2 Miles
Did the warm-up with the team and was still ridiculously tight, so that was it for my running for the day.
Sunday: 0 Miles
Did 6 Miles on the elliptigo which was a combination of fun, uncontrolled and tiring.
Weekly Total: 34 Miles
YTD Total: 1,594 Miles
Weekly Highlight: Seems like the foot pretty much healed up.
Weekly Lowlight: Just extremely uncomfortable tightness nearly all the time.
