I took it easy the past two days after running broad street and did a 2 mile walk Monday and 3 mile walk/jog Tuesday. Today I plan to lift and maybe swim or run outside if it’s nice enough. I’ll either swim or run tomorrow depending on which one I didn’t complete today, and some more lifting! Friday I’m going to go to a spin class, something else I haven’t done in probably a month or two. Yikes, hopefully my legs won’t be too sore post spinning so I can complete a nice long distance run on Saturday morning. I’m not necessarily training for anything at this point. I have my 2nd triathlon scheduled for mid-July. I’ve been swimming about once a week so I will just need to start upping my intensity. As far as the bike portion, this might be my biggest weakness, so I must get back on the bike outside by mid-May to fine tune my riding. I’m planning on continuing to run 2-3 days a week with one long run, so maybe I can focus on speed work for the shorter runs, and of course the off the bike runs (legs=jello). April was such a crazy month, I’m excited to have a little more structure and calmness for May!
Do you stick to a workout schedule or routine? How many rest days do you take after a race? What type of workout motivates you the most: running, lifting, swimming, HIIT, other??
