Return to the Gym
After several days of soreness, I made it back to the weight room. I tried to keep my weights low and concentrate on form and 3 sets of repetitions. Nothing seemed to be difficult but we will see how I feel tomorrow and Monday. Luckily, I didn’t feel any pain when I played golf today. Before my weight training, I ran a mile and cooled down to get my heart rate up. After the 25 minutes of lifting, I did 30 minutes of fat burn on the treadmill. Unfortunately, my heart rate gets so high, the treadmill keeps the speed around 3.3 to 3.6 mph. I did try and do some 4 mph jogging to see how low I could keep my HR. I think that I could easily do my 10K at that pace. It’s slow but steady!

First Strength Training in a While
Since I have some time before my next race, I wanted to incorporate some more strength training in my workouts. I didn’t get quite as much ab and core work as I wanted but my upper body work left me a little sore. I’m going to do 2 a week until 2 weeks out from my next race and go back to 1 workout and then none on the last week of taper. I did 5 minutes of jogging before and 15 minutes of light fat burn setting on the treadmill.
