Looked up starting strength coaches on their website. Great suggestion! But sadly none in the area.
Saturday is off day. I ran tonight - same 2 mile route as Thursday. Tonight was windy, cool, and a bit of drizzle. Rest day plus conditions made it a much easier run
.
I have had some tenderness and puffiness in the mcl/pes anserine area of my right knee. (Mostly caused by going from endurance-ass-sitting to all-out-exercise). At the suggestion of some others I switched from running on the concrete sidewalk to the asphalt street. **** what a difference. I am never running on the sidewalk again.
To really get after this 5k goal - I need to plan the running/training. From what I understand I need:
- long slow aerobic run
- sprint workout
- interval training at desired pace
Out of those, I find the long slow the hardest to do (motivation/time/etc).
Still debating whether to increment squat on Monday or roll it back a bit. TBD.
