#stepbackweek

#latergramvideo from earlier today. It was the first really hot run of the year, with temps right around 90°. Luckily I was only doing an easy 20+ minute jog, so it was over quickly. Then it was back inside to the AC for some #mcmillanrunteam #prehab core work. This is a #stepbackweek and all the runs are lighter. Next week I’ll be back to building up volume as I enter the final 3 weeks of this #rebuildfitness plan. Then it’s on to a base plan or hill plan. Haven’t decided yet. #mastersrunner #masterstriathlete #masterstrackathlete #mastersxcrunner #mastersroadrunner #runva #tracktraining #xctraining #neverstopstriving #justkeepgoing #withoutlimitz (at Mantua, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CePyK-wOvWe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I had to wait all day as the temperature flirted with 100° outside but finally got to the track this evening - it was still 93°. I wasn’t sure I could knock out 6 x 1000 tonight but I coached myself through it and even hit my splits despite the heat. The 200 recoveries were really tough but maybe a blessing because it meant I could be done sooner lol. A big #trackworkout is a helluva way to put a capper on what was a big week - not a lot of miles (29) but high intensity running plus a big bike and a swim. All I know is I’m looking forward to next week, a #stepbackweek, bring it on! #runblr #fitblr #summerrunning #summertraining #keeprunning #keepworking #keepshowingup #mastersrunner (at Wilbert Tucker Woodson High School) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC2LOcSH2BA/?igshid=1m81tomx0oolg
