Running Coach - Update - Week 22

RUNNING COACH- WEEK 22
-----------------

Well, the tri season is over for me. Sad, but now I can get back to focusing on running again.

My hope is that I will be able to run a 5K by April/May 2007. Hopefully, I can get there.

Today's session was, "let's make her work those legs", day!

Here are the drills I will do this week (3 times):

1) Modified plank.
2) Oblique twist in the plank position.
3) One leg stand with back leg pushed back and over to the side.
4) Side step and low reach with a high reach in the middle.
5) One leg squats. Push the leg I am not standing on, back.
6) Straight leg deadlifts with weights.

Run:
15 minutes
18 minutes


Now that the season is over and I don't feel the pressure to "run a 5K before the tri season ends"... this whole process seems a lot less stressful. I like that.

Sounds like it was a good workout! You'll be back to running "normal" in no time flat- and that 5K will quickly turn to a marathon.

Dang, KSH, by the time you run that 5k you'll have legs that can kick serious butt!!

Well...I actually RAN for about 15 minutes w/out stopping yesterday.

I felt some pain in my legs (on a scale of 1-5, it was a 1)... but completely manageable.

Then, I iced my legs last night, to keep that same 3-inch area from getting inflamed.

I run again tomorrow... we will see how it goes!

Hee-hee...well, with all the cycling... I already call my thighs... the SKULL CRUSHERS (yea, uuumm... put your mind in the gutter on that one!).

Actually, that's what I was thinking of, but I couldn't find a way to put it nicely
