Was feeling really tight in the hamstrings today after Fridays gym session. Had a big legs and shoulders w/out, but after my swim today, am feeling pretty good tonight. I'm thinking that I may have to cut back on gym sessions so I can concentrate on getting the City 2 Surf done and dusted. What to do, what to do? I'll take any ideas that may be forthcoming from anyone.
Well, I'm off to bed to do a bit of reading. Picked up a book from the library today, by Hamish Carter, so far, so good, so I'll keep reading.
Ka kite.

Doing leg workouts is fine as it is building strength you can use running - just try and do them not too close to any long run sessions you are doing. You need to time for the muscles to recover between weights and run workouts.
ReplyDeleteAlso, maybe decrease the weights and intensity of the session. Less weights, more reps = endurance; rather than heavy weights, less reps = brute strength.
Glad you are enjoying the swimming. You are doing great!
