2021 WMTRC Training: Week 11

Week 2 since the WMTRC announcement and not much has changed.  I need to prioritize trail running on Sunday. It was a long day with the LSU game but I will need to figure it out to make sure I’m rested for Sunday. Although these are “negatives” I am highlighting, there are positives too.

I’ll take the consistency and solid track workout on Tuesday. I can see some benefits of strength training. It’s baby steps but nothing major ever happens overnight. I’ll keep chipping away and I know improvements will come. Just need to be patient and stay focused.

Week 11 Training Details:

Monday (September 12, 2022)

  • Rest day

 

Tuesday (September 13, 2022)

  • Back to the track with an early start with Matt Campbell
  • Steady 800s through 4 reps and cut down to 2:40 and 2:39 with Train Pegasus
  • Couldn’t keep up with Matt on the 400s but did some 200s and MP miles on the return to StarKnox
  • Great workout and best one in a while!

 

 

Wednesday (September 14, 2022)

  • Another recovery route at Flag Pole Hill
  • Can you tell I’m a fan of this route? lol

 

 

Thursday (September 15, 2022)

  • Overslept and missed the Tempo run but I would’ve taken it easier after the Tuesday workout
  • Threw in a couple of MP miles down Katy so I could make it to a meeting

 

Friday (September 16, 2022)

  • Missed early miles again. I hate blaming work but I should’ve managed this better
  • I still got the miles did which is important. I always say “any miles are better than no miles” so I better mean it

 

 

Saturday (September 17, 2022)

  • Gotta love Tour de Fleur for bringing the warmth and humidity
  • Took it easy on the super loop but had fun with the Salty Crew

 

 

Sunday (September 18, 2022)

  • Busy morning heading up to Irving to watch Jodi and Landon crush the PTO US Open 100K triathlon
  • It was a warm day but they made Train Pegasus proud!
  • Easy evening miles to wrap up a 50-mile week
