Training Day Ten – First Five Miles
Yesterday I ran five miles, my first longish run ( 5miles, 48 minutes). I did struggle a little mentally as my knees plagued me with nagging aching pain for about four of the five miles. A little weight training the day prior ensured maximum soreness throughout my body.
I don’t normally workout on Saturdays but this Saturday I did and it made running, on Sunday, a bit challenging. I really need to figure out a weight training / running combo that works. I also need to work on a set of quality stretches for both pre and post run activity. My last unfinished item is diet.
Post-Run I find myself eating anything in sight. I suspect that I would recover faster if I had a planned meal or food white-list. I don’t think left over birthday cake and cheeze-its is really the way to go.
To-do list:
- Create or Find Weight training program for integration
- Determine quality stretching routine
- Work on diet and post workout meals
