I followed my workout plan last week and loved having the structure of my whole week being pre-planned. I'm definitely going to keep it up. One thing I underestimated though, was how much time I actually spent running. I usually just run until I don't feel like running anymore and I guessed at the distances when I typed up my workout plan last week. But during each run, when I hit my target distance, I felt like I was just hitting my stride and wanted to keep running. So this week, I am definitely going to increase the mileage.
My goal is to get back to running 5-7 miles at a time during the week, with a longer run on the weekends, so eventually I won't have time to get my run and weights done before work, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
Alright, on to this week's workout plan. In addition to bumping up the mileage a little, I'm going to split the core work into rounds. The sets of 50 weren't bad, but the planks were brutal by the end. I need to break those up into 2 rounds for now.
