Friday/Saturday Workouts
I was talking with Jim Braden this morning at the Conroe Family YMCA Trail Run 5K about my recent effort at the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon and the one word that he emphasized was "consistency" as opposed to "intensity".
From another perspective, Ken Johnson has also shared this with me in the past relating to his running every day and not being as sick as much as other runners.
Trying to capitalize on that theme, I put another hour on the stationery bike at the gym Friday night and then ran an hour and biked a half hour this afternoon as well.
No, this may not help me get any faster now; however, if I can work the calories expended over the calories consumed in the right direction, a drop of pounds will increase the oxygen in take and with the steady work will allow me to get faster. But it is NOT the end-all, be-all for me.
I think I commented to Maria Esselborn and/or Jim that Oklahoma City is the one marathon that I can recall actually just enjoying. I don't think that's to say that I didn't work hard enough, but I know that I did well -- for me. To post my fourth best time ever on non-traditional training or workout methods, I'll take it every day.
