I had my first basketball practice of the season Saturday. Since I've been been exercising pretty regularly, I thought it would be easy--wrong!
My poor body was not ready for sprinting up and down the court. Now I need to adjust my workouts to include short sprints, while maintaining my distance schedule, to get into shape for the season.
I woke up Sunday to aching arms and stomach muscles. Despite the soreness, I went to the gym to do a 4-mile workout, per instructions from the half marathon group. I ran it in 47 minutes. The group recommends doing 2 4-mile runs and 1 8-mile run a week. Right now my brain is fried trying to figure out how to fit it in, along with short sprints!
Also let me add that it is painful and boring to run 4 miles on a treadmill. I wish it wasn't snowing so I could go outside! I thought I would never reach the end.
My workout schedule for this week is going to be: *UPDATE 1/20)
Sunday--ran 4 miles
Monday--short sprints
Tuesday--strength training, pilates
