This week and a good chunk of late last week has been hazy, hot and humid (well, compared to our "usual" weather). My body does not handle the heat very well, it takes a lot out of me and a long time to recover, even from an easy run. Hubby and I were also out of town for a few days since his grandfather was having surgery. So here is what I was supposed to do compared to what I actually did/plan to do:
Week 8
easy 6 easy 6.25
6x800 with 400 recovery and I actually did 4x800 and nailed my times
off easy 6 (knew was going out of town)
5 tempo 5 with 3x1mile tempo and 1 min jog between
easy 5 off
easy 6 off
long 10 5 easy (was over 80* and humid), carried water
Week 9
easy 5 5 easy, carried water bottle
5x1k 5 miles with fartleck step count workout totaling 3 miles, carried water (allowed me to have shade instead of being on the track with the sun beating on me) almost 80* and 80% humidity at 9am
off off (will be doing some yard work outside though so the heat will take it's toll)
easy 6 6 easy
easy 5 5 easy before Hubby takes me on surprise trip
long 15 may split this into two runs at destination and return home of 4 and then 5
I've been running a little slower and taking walk breaks but that is what works for me with the heat and humidity. Sometimes it is better very early in the am and other times it actually cools off nice enough in the early evening (kind of depends on thunder storms and such).
