It’s Nov. 20…so I have exactly 1 day before I’m a month behind on Weekly Workout Round-Ups (except now, in the time between draft and publication, it became Nov. 21 in Singapore. I’m officially a month behind). Thankfully, I have a pretty detailed workout log and my photos to help me recall each day, plus […]
I had to look at the calendar – twice – to remind myself that last week was really just the second week after my 50K. My legs felt…awesome. I was doing much more cross-training than running, but BodyPump and RPM (indoor cycling) aren’t exactly gentle on the legs. Here’s what happened: Monday: RPM Also, I […]
Last week was characterized by two things: 1. Not much running. 2. A return to yang yoga. Both of these were good things. As I’ve said before, I tend to use the post-long-race week as both a physical and mental break from training. I take a step back from my intense Sunday afternoon workout scheduling […]
So much for posting this stinker on…uhhh…Sunday? Ah, well, there was too much 50King to discuss this week to be overly concerned about Workout Round-Ups. Most of you know what a taper looks like, anyway. But I’m a sucker for completeness, so here’s a quick rundown of my workout week leading up to the North […]
I’m running The North Face Ultra 50K this weekend – Oct. 5. (!!!!!) So let’s take a post to talk about long ultra-specific training runs. I integrated two of them around my Perth Marathon training: one before and one after. I planned to write about the first one (a 27-miler in early August), but we […]
In the spirit of staying up-to-date and organized (See: Order On The Blog!), here’s the scoop on last week’s workouts. Do note that this was my first taper week for The North Face 50K on Oct. 5th. Monday: BodyPump Tuesday: Run (6 mi) I joined KMN for his tempo run in the morning. Since I […]
I am just this one post away from being caught up on my most self-centered blogging: Race Reports & Workout Round-Ups. [I mean, even more self-centered than the OTHER blogging I do. Although, I’m having trouble remembering what that was, even. Don’t worry, we’re going to return to this question very, very soon. Like, this weekend. Whoot.] […]
I have a race report from last weekend that I *really* want to share – but as a stickler for chronological order, I have to do a wrap-up from the week before, first. So my next four posts look like this: 1. Weekly Workout Round-Up (Sept. 9-15) – aka, THIS VERY POST 2. Yellow Ribbon […]
Yesterday, I posted my Workout Round-Up for pre-marathon week. Now it’s time to take a look at the post-Perth workouts! In case you have forgotten (or are new – HI!), I actually spent my summer dual-training: for a marathon in Perth at the end of August, and for a 50K trail run in Singapore in early […]
There are some blog-related changes coming up here (namely, more frequent, more varied, and less Holly-centric posts), but first, let’s do some Weekly Workout Rounding-Up. These are mostly for me, anyway – and apparently you guys like them, too, because they tend to get lots of Comments. Anyway, how did my workouts look pre-Marathon week? […]
