Say it, Do it! {formatting issues}

{If you’re new to SIDI here’s some info: At the beginning of each week on FCITC “Say it, Do it” is a chance for us to commit to our workouts for the week by saying them out loud here and keeping each other accountable.}

 

The format of last week’s planned workouts just didn’t workout too well. I was flying high after a great week of workouts, but my legs just weren’t on board.

I can be stubborn about certain things, but I will always choose listening to my body over pushing myself to complete a self assigned workout for the sake of completing the workout.

That being said, I ran easy, missed my speedwork and my long run, but it’s okay!

I’ve said it before here and I’ll say it again, I always build in extra time into a training schedule because inevitably something happens and I miss a key workout or two.

What do I do when I miss key workouts like today’s long run?

I regroup and let it go.

If I hold onto the few workouts I’ve missed, I’m discrediting the ones I’ve pushed through and I’m also discrediting what my body is telling me.

Always listen to your body, it will pay off in the end even if it means missing a key workout every now and then.

And remember quality over quantity.

Workouts for the week:

• A long run of 20 miles
• A tempo run at marathon goal pace of 13.1 miles
• A spin class at the Sports Bra Challenge
• Two easy runs
• Two strength workouts
• At least one rest day

Do you build extra time into your training schedule? How do you feel when you miss key workouts?
