Last week started the first bit of taper for the Annapolis Half Marathon, and the volume reduction was most notable in the week's long run, which wasn't even close to cracking double digit mileage.
It was perfect timing, because I spent almost all of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at a judging clinic in Colorado.
Luckily, I got the "long" run in early Friday morning before flying out.
Monday: Rest day, with a long walk and a painful 90
minute sports massage.
Tuesday: 6.14 mile fartlek run (6x1 minute hard-2 minutes
easy) and 25 minutes of strength training in the morning, then 4100 yards of
swimming with DCRP Masters in the evening.
Wednesday: A 5.4 mile track workout in the evening, with
4x1200 building from half marathon pace to 10k pace (6:00-5:46-5:41-5:41).
Thursday: Easy 45 minute spin on the bike trainer in the
morning, 4200 yards of swimming with DCRP Masters in the evening.
Friday: A seven mile run in the morning before flying out
to Colorado.
Saturday: 12 hours of synchronized swimming judge’s
updating in Colorado. Used breaks to get in 25 minutes of body weight strength
training and 2000 meters of swimming in this beautiful pool at the Olympic
Training Center.
Sunday: Rest day. More classroom time and a (very) late-night flight home.
I hope you successfully made it home. That seemed like a huge pain. UGH, delayed flights. I cannot wait to see what you do in the Annapolis half this week!
