Luke Beauchamp's training log

Today was a rest day so I just did a swim workout and a strengthening session. This will be my first week above ten miles. I'm encouraged by the fact that I haven't run into any significant problems yet.

Ran 3 miles with Matthew. I finished the day with swimming and strengthening. Swimming felt a little odd and I got some hamstring pain but no ankle pain at all.

Today was a rest day. I got in the pool to swim but my hamstring gave pain immediately. I cut my swim off and just did strengthening.

Just ran an easy 3 miles to crossroads park and back. I was cruising today but it felt difficult. Had a fairly extensive strengthening session today.

No running today, just strengthening and lifting. I will run twice in a row over the next two days.

Ran an easy 3 with Will and Chris. The pace was barely below 7 but I felt a little off. I'm beginning to feel like my cardio isn't actually behind and that the bad feeling in runs is just part of my continuing struggle with morning runs, which I abhor. I seriously wish our team had practice in the evening but I guess I'll just have to wait until the Fall.

Any issue I have had with morning runs really did not present itself today. I was planning on using the bathroom at the halfway mark but I felt too good and didn't want to disrupt a wonderful run for the sake of my bladder. Finished the day with some strengthening. I'm beginning to like the new route I'm taking to Crossroads park because there are very few obstacles to good training on there. However, I'm also excited to move on to higher mileage and throw a few tempos back in the mix. Finished up the day with my strengthening routine. Hopefully more runs like this to come.
