Yeah I'm starting to recognize that. For theast two years in particular, I've been doing heavy deadlifts, bench press, squats, and my military press mixed in with other more typical bodybuilding exercises.
I think I'm taxing my body too hard. Once I get back to balanced I'll start talking with my coach about working weifhtd back in to my program but higher rep lower weight for now.
I'd be interested in hearing an update later if you're interested in sharing. Good luck!
Will do, as long as I remember!
Even though my Garmin said I still need to rest I knocked out my super slow 9 miles today. First 4.5 was not bad, but my legs got heavy as stone over the last half. Feel good bc my coach affirmed that my cardio is there, we just need my legs to catch up. Average pace was 14:05/mile (omg that's ridiculous), but average HR was 122. Took me 2 hours and 7 minutes. But again, I probably should be resting and my legs are paying for it but we'll see how my body recovers with an extra 3 rest days a week.
Good work. 9 miles is no joke, at any pace. You're on track.
Thank you!
