I’m writing this on Friday so hopefully by the time you read this I will have finished the Narragansett Bay Half Marathon. Fingers crossed everything went well. You can follow me on Instagram if you’re dying to know I how did :)
Workouts were much lower intensity than last week. I don’t consider it a “bad” or “off” week, just a change-up.
Sunday: WeFlowHard Yoga (click for recap). I want to repeat this workout.
Monday: 5 miles + Upper Body Strength at PushLab Fitness. I returned to one of the first studios I tried with ClassPass for a 45 minute weight/circuit class, as that has obviously been my most neglected area of fitness this summer.
Tuesday: Off. Crampy, bloated, exhausted. Enough said.
Wednesday: Fitness Runs RUN + YOGA class (2.75 miles). I ran the 1 mile to the class meeting spot, did the class (about .75 miles total of drills) and ran the 1 mile back. For the class we did a dynamic warm-up and then drills of jog, sprint and 1 minute bodyweight movements. For bodyweight movements we did mountain climbers, push-ups, jump squats, jump lunges, burpees, reverse lunges and tricep dips. Then we did about 20 minutes of basic yoga on the grass, which unfortunately was wet.
Thursday: 5.35 miles. I did an out and back route and turned around at about 22 minutes. I listened to the Runner’s Connect podcast during the run.
Friday: 5 miles in the park before leaving for Rhode Island. Slow and relaxed…minus the unavoidable hills.
Saturday: Off.
Hope you have a great Sunday!
I really need to get back into a routine, right now I’m barely getting one good workout in a week. How do you balance everything?

I wish I had a concrete answer to this question. It takes me about a week or two to get into a workout routine when things change (moving/starting work/school/etc.). So I would say give it some time to adjust to all the new things and then schedule it in like any other obligation. For me that means getting up early early before work. Some weeks aren’t as successful as others.
Good luck today!!!

Other than the awful weather it was a great race!
That running/yoga class sounds so cool! I feel like a class focused on drills and stretching is just what I need. I know I’ve already said it, but I’m so jealous of all the cool boutiques available to you!

I’m going to go through a ClassPass depression when I get back home next week haha. I wish they had more of the running drill-based classes. I’ll have to do some more research because I’m sure they exist.
I saw your Instagram post about your half today and can’t wait to hear more about it! You ran an awesome time :)
