It’s been almost a week since the marathon. I have to say, I almost didn’t know what to blog about this week now that it is all over! But actually, I have a bunch of non-running post ideas that I am excited about.
I took the week easy, not that I really had a choice. But it is good to keep the muscles fluid and flush out the lactic acid.
This is what recovery week looked like:
Monday: massage
Tuesday: 25 minutes on the bike
Wednesday: 20 minutes elliptical
Thursday: 20 minutes elliptical, 10 minutes bike
Friday: Yoga at Yoga Works (another good class)
Saturday: 25 minutes on the elliptical, 10 minutes ab work on bosu and stability ball, 25 minute jog/walk.
Also, lots of water!
I can’t wait until I can run normally again You read a million different things about how long to wait before running, once I read a day for every mile. But I think you really just have to listen to your body and your mind and figure out what is going to work for you.
I am buried in school work, so I am going to try to make a dent this weekend.
