Well, the cold is gone and this week will hopefully prove to be a milestone week at 50 miles of total running... if I make it! Last night's rain transformed the Northern Virginia area into a big ol' ice rink and as much as I love to skate, risking some potentially bad falls on the hilly terrain I frequent, running outdoors wasn't in the cards this morning. Hopefully, my quicker medium length runs (Wed/Fri) will be ice-free, but the reality of that is questionable at this time. I really don't want to run 10 miles on a treadmill, especially on one of the crappy treadmills at my apartment complex...
In addition to this week's bump in running, I'm going to try to add swimming back into the mix. At least one or two sessions this week, all at low intensity as I focus on my form. I've added some spinning in the aero position (while watching YouTube) on my trainer, but again, nothing intense.
However, that said, I'm going to bump up the amount of my non running workouts over the next two weeks to see how my body reacts to the increased load. One thing I'm definitely interested in definining is how many hours I can go before I see serious performance/health breakdowns. This is only for two weeks, and while that may not be alot of clinical data to really draw some conclusions, I'm hoping that I'll be able to see some kind of patterns, both positive and negative.
