Weekly Workout Recap… or not

So… I didn’t get much working out in over the past week. My brother and sister-in-law were in town so I was off playing tourist! I did run on Tuesday, but well, with a broken trainer (should be back today) and the need to get the house in order before their visit, I didn’t get much done. I did enjoy being a tourist in my own city though!

We definitely lucked out with the weather. It was cold for the first part of their visit, but by Monday, it was absolutely gorgeous outside! Now I just have to get back to eating properly and working out regularly. Hoping to be able to run outside this weekend. Hooray!

In this video I cover tips, tricks, and the results I’ve gotten so far! Let me know if you have any more questions and I’ll reply in the comments or make another video!

Always beware for scam sellers overseas that sell waist trainers for very cheap! I ordered one from China and it never came! So far, this is the most affordable seller with quick shipping that I’ve found.

How quick do you I start seeing results?
For me, I saw a noticeable change in measurements after a few days of wearing it overnight.

How I Should Calculate PRs

My next big race is the Cherry Blossom Ten Miler, and while I’m not doing hardcore run training, I am putting in some good long runs on the weekend. So in my training plan this month, my coach has me pushing and then on race day, she says “Do you think you can get a PR?”

And my first answer? Nope.

My PR is from right before my HR issues were diagnosed in 2010. It’s a 1:51 at Cherry Blossom. I don’t think I’ll ever get back there. I was racing great, but feeling awful for days afterwards because I was completely wearing my body out. Not what you want to be doing to your heart.

It’s interesting to look at my ten miler results, because after the diagnosis, my pace immediately dropped by a minute per mile. But I was feeling much better.

Of course, that’s not to say that my current pace is all due to heart issues. My fastest race since diagnosis was that same year at the Army Ten Miler – a 2:09. I was in excellent shape, having been working towards my first (and second and third) half marathon. I’ve gotten close to that again, but never quite back to it.

I’ve said it before, but I need to have pre and post diagnosis PRs. I don’t know that I’ll ever get back to a 1:51, and if that’s because of my heart issues, so be it. Nothing I can do about it without causing harm to my body, and that’s clearly not worth it.

So rather than worry about a sub-2, this year, I’m going to try for a ten miler under 2:09. I’ve got two ten mile races on my schedule, one in April and (hopefully) one in October. Obviously, my big push is the 70.3, but that doesn’t mean I can’t also work on my running pace.

Now, to get back to working out. I took a week off with my brother and sister-in-law visiting. It was a nice break, but now I have no excuses.
