Notes:
- I was leaning toward using my COVID-19 run schedule (rest Monday, run Tuesday/Wednesday, rest Thursday, run Friday/Saturday/Sunday) even though taking Mondays off makes me crazy, but I had to move my Friday run day to Thursday this week and thought… what if I ran 3 days in a row and took every fourth day off for the month? Would that work? I might try it! I think I am going to be pretty tired every third day. I’ll see how it goes.
Yellow = run days, White = rest days (Updated: I noticed the mistake in this after I published, but I am too lazy to fix it…)
- Monthly recap! In August I ran 52 miles (11 runs). It was a low mileage month because my high mileage June and July gave me an overuse injury in my right hip (but I feel better now!). My coldest run was 57°F and my warmest was 78°F. I rode 30 miles (2 rides). I walked 13 times. I did 10 strength workouts at home.
It will be interesting to see how your body responds to the new schedule. I have a neighbor lady who runs every other day, regardless of the day of the week. Your new schedule will be more like that, running on different days of the week every week. I hope you enjoy the change!
Right?! I am wondering if every other day like your neighbor or two days on one day off would be best. But I finished my second set of three runs today and felt great so maybe it’ll work out!
