It's all about knowing your limits, right? But to know them you have to find them, and to find them you typically have to surpass them. (Which is probably why I ended up throwing up so much in my second semester of College)
Last week taught me about my limits of running:
- Sun - 52mins HARD - Supposed to be an off day but I felt restless and just got up and went.
- Mon - 42mins Very easy
- Tues - Off
- Weds - 41mins - Cruising
- Thurs - 37mins - Easy
- Fri - Off
- Sat - 39:20 8km XC @ Nosehill. Plus about 10mins of warmup. Obviously this was hard.
- Sun - 53mins Easy.
All totalled this is ~274 minutes of running in a week, which is a drastic increase for me. Too much of an increase, apparently, as this weeks running plans have been scrapped due to sharp stabbing pain from the IT band in my right knee. 30 minutes into my first run this week I had to stop due to the pain. I took 3 days off of running, hoping that would do the trick. Then last night about 30 minutes in the pain came back. So now I'm all over the ice and anti-inflamm's. I even let Scott do a little bit of accupuncture on my right leg. And if the pain from that doesn't teach me to stay within my limits, I don't know what will.
