Luvie's Report

Luvie had me do a drop down week this past training cycle with the hopes of still running 30+ miles but getting a little fresher by reducing from last week's 36+. I started Monday with a 3.03 mile shuffle and then met John and the pool for:

2,200
4 X 100 @ 2:30
400 easy
4 X 100 @ 2:30
400 easy
total: 3,800 meters.

Tuesday I met John at the pool before I ran and swam 6,600 straight. The pace was slow but I really am not that swimming fit right now. After light nutrition, I was out for a 10.1 mile tempo run.

Wednesday, I finally got back to one of my old standby pool sessions. I swam

1,200
20 X 100 @ 2:00
300 easy
total: 3,500 meters.

Later I shuffled 2.1 miles.

John was out of pocked Thursday, so I took it easy with:

1,300
10 X 50 @ 1:15
300 easy
8 X 50 @ 1:15
300 easy
total: 2,800 meters.

Since the college football season started that night, and since I was tired, and since I was planning a long shike the next day, I went home and watched and rested for the next day. I wrote a separate post on Bubby's and my 21-mile outing that Friday. I ran 15 and walked 6, had a good time, and learned some new roads.

Saturday I moved slowly and only managed to get outdoors two times for some yard work and weightlifting. I worked lower body in the am and upper body in the pm.

For the week, I

ran 30.29 miles
lifted weights two times
walked 9.76 miles, and 
swam 16,700 meters.
