Training Update
Sarah Walls
Here is the current wave I'm on in the weight room. I'm also 3-weeks into a 5-10k training plan. So that consists of 7 x 35min E pace for the week.
My main purpose for this strength training wave is to continue to support my running. The winter was tough and I was uncharacteristically inconsistent with my runs. So, I'm taking myself through the often recommended 6-week base building (or really injury prevention) phase prior to starting the more intense training.
With that said, the actual lifts I'm doing are pretty legit, although I've scaled back a touch from my winter waves. So, far I've felt great. The more frequently I am able to get out on the trail the better my legs feel.
I actually changed my foot strike about a month ago and am loving it: I went from a mid-foot strike with no heel drop to a mid-food strike WITH a heel drop. I've found it makes an incredible difference for my calves and plantar fascia.
Anyway. This is what my training consists of. Will be getting a new wave soon. Still loving my overhead squat. BOOM.
