So, I tried out my new hyper warm running pants on Saturday. Yeah, my butt was still cold. Is that some kind of weird thing resulting from faulty DNA? Is there something wrong with my circulation? Once again, my toes and fingers were fine, but my butt was cold. Perhaps my glutes aren't firing properly, and this is further proof that I do, in fact, have a lazy butt.
Anyway, that workout plus more treadmill workouts lead me to a 31 mile total for the week. Wahoo! My week went as follows:
Tuesday - 4+ miles at <70% HR Max
Wednesday - 2 miles at <65%, 2 miles at 80%, 2 miles at <65% (indoors)
Thursday - 4 miles at <70% (indoors)
Friday - 1 mile at <65%, 1 mile strides (20/20/20 w/60 rest - that's steps, 20 to build speed, 20 at max speed, and 20 to slow back down to recovery pace, 60 steps to rest), 1 miles at <65%
Saturday - 14+ miles at <70%
Total = 31+ miles
This week will be similar, only I'll be running a half marathon on Thanksgiving. So, I'll have to adjust the rest and long run days accordingly. I'm feeling great, and loving this whole heart rate training thing. It's hard to keep myself below the proper range right now, but I hear it gets easier soon.
We'll see.
Happy running.
