Training Focus: rehab athletic pubalgia, build up to 10-mile running race form, maintain skiing strength
Friday: long run
Activity: Running
Purpose: Base-building, musculoskeletal adaptation, and Zone 2 cardiovascular training by heart rate. I set the pace to be about 20 seconds per mile slower than marathon effort pace. Surprised to see that my heart rate averaged 119 and topped out at 135. Either the monitor was inaccurate or I'm getting fitter. Maybe a little of both.
Saturday: lift/bike
Activity: Kettlebells
Purpose: hip hinge, core, full body, social exercise. Always great to sling some weight with a friend!
Activity: Stationary bike
Purpose: Zone 2 cardiovascular training, top up miles for weak (aiming for 120% of 4-week average)
