GHS Swamp Rabbit Half training - Week 9 of 12

Miles run this week: 24.9

Monday - strength
15min elliptical
strength
10,000 steps - barely!
Legs were feeling super sore and stiff from Sunday's long run, so I took a little extra time for an easy 1.25mi spin on the elliptical. It definitely helped loosen them up!
Spent the rest of my time doing various strength exercises with the resistance band and some pushups & core work.

Tuesday - #10kTuesday
10,000 steps
off-road 10k Tuesday
Took the 10k on the trails today at lunch in preparation for this weekend's race. Ran the Earth Run 5k course plus the Vita Course, then a little extra on the road to finish out the mileage. Gorgeous day!


Wednesday - XT
10,000 steps
14.3mi bike ride
Rode the Sherman College loop with Megan today, and it was such a nice day for a ride! A little breezy like last week, but we had a tailwind on the long straight stretches, so it worked to our advantage. Averaged just under 15 mph for the ride.

Thursday - easy miles
10,000 steps
3.5mi run @ 8:56/mi avg
Traded out speedwork today for some easy miles in preparation for Saturday's race. No structure to today's run, just kept it comfortable - ended up with pretty consistent splits all hovering around the 9:00/mi mark.

Friday - rest
~7,000 steps
I thought about doing yoga today, but with some work activities during lunch (Superbowl party!) and a desire to be truly fully rested for tomorrow, I decided a complete rest day would be good. Planning baked potatoes for dinner tonight = CARB LOADING!

Saturday - Race Day
Yeti or Not 25k
30,000+ steps 

Sunday - rest
Day after a long hard race effort, plus traveling for work = rest day.
