That really push you through training that are tough, but will pay off in the end. Last week had been the best week of weekday workouts and run. I felt strong and good on the runs, and made all of my strength workouts. Sadly once again I didn't make it to an abs class. One of these days it will happen. I have realized that doing the wednesday night Zumba class is tough enough, that Thursday morning abs doesn't ever happen. As for the weekend long runs, it never happened this weekend. I wanted to talk advantage of the fabulous weather here sunday and walked around the neighborhood in shoes at the time were a good choice, but when it came time for the run, my feet were sore and blistered. So the run got pushed back. Instead, I was good and went to the gym for a cardio session instead.
I started this week strong off with a 4 mile run to make up for the 6 I missed on sunday. Obviously, I didn't make the entire 6 I needed to, but I have learned in the past that if I don't make a workout one day or cannot do it full out, that I just simply add more to the others to continue on the same path. Tuesday included another 4 mile run, today a spin and elliptical session, tomorrow speed and friday 4 miles with a rest on saturday. This way I am getting the added mileage to make up for last sunday while still building.
My best advice to someone just starting out or training for another race, each day of your training schedule, if you miss a workout or cannot finish the suggested amount, write down what kept you from completing what was needed. This is a good way to see if it's a recurring theme such as every tuesday seems to be a day you miss then you have a good idea of what to tweak or fix on monday or think of ways to mix it up on tuesdays. Also, if you're not completing the full workout that day, you can look ahead to add on certain days.
This week will be tough with the add ons, but it will all pay off in the end
