Week 11: Treadmill INSANITY

I am still very behind on blogs and probably won't be on much for the next couple of days. My parents came up this weekend and long story short, the weekend was very interesting and didn't turn out quite how we had all planned. :(

I am very tired today so I am hoping that I can make it through the week!

Monday:
I pulled a double workout day and I actually liked it! I had to rearrange my training schedule because of my hair appointment on Tuesday. That appointment was VERY important. I know that you ladies know what I mean.

Running workout which was a nice "warm up" pre FGF


Squat thrusters are no joke, but I was proud of myself for toughing out level 4!
I ended up with 97 KB snatches (25#s) too!


Tuesday:
Went for a very easy 4 mile run followed by 15 minutes of core + stretching & foam rolling.
15 minutes of core

Wednesday:
I loved how refreshed my legs felt for this workout. I really think that doing the double on Monday helped. Tuesday was truly a recovery day for me.

I would have pulled a double on Wednesday too, but I felt the FGF workout for the day wouldn’t have been a good one for me to partake in.

I really don't like 400 repeats, but for some reason this seemed relatively easy compared to the mile repeats on Monday. My fastest 400 was a 1:19!



20 minutes of core and lots of stretching. Kinda my norm these days.

Thursday:
FGF had my favorite component to their workout. RUNNING! I got there early enough to run 2 E miles before class in a fun little rain/hail storm.

Took me 11:47 to complete. Used the 35# KB for the KBS.

I did 10 minutes of core during my lunch break. I musta been bored.....

Friday:
I contemplated switching my long run to Friday, but I am glad that I didn't. I was a little bit sore from FGF and figured that running 22 miles would be a bit much.  Since my parents were visiting, I took the day off. I didn't have to work either so double bonus!

Saturday:
22 miles all on the TM....yes it was tough! I had to run early because we had plans with my parents. I figured I would just get up early like I was going to work and knock it out before everyone got up. My plan worked brilliantly AND I got to finally watch the season finale of Biggest Loser and the latest episode of Smash.

Hit my easy target pace of (8:00-8:15). I averaged 8:01. #Boom

Sunday:
I also took Sunday off....probably should have done something. Oh well!

Hope everyone had a great week! Happy Monday!
Anyone do anything fun over the weekend????

      It was fun to read about your Big Climb event. Looks like those sticky gloves were worth it!

  11. Love waht a #beast you are :) Nice job with all your workouts, so inspiring. I love finding people who are like me (only you are obviously a teeny bit faster ;) that love to run and do HIIT/FGF type workouts. I really hope I get over that way someday to run with you.

    1. Thanks Christy, you are so sweet! I hope we can run a race together sooner than later. I might try for the Missoula half this year if I can swing it. Are you thinking about Missoula again?

  12. That is a really long TM run Tasha! Serious motivation to get that in. I hope this next week is easier for you, and I'm sorry the weekend with your parents didn't quite go to plan.
