training mistakes
On Tuesday, I made two training mistakes and paid the price.
Before my workouts, I normally stretch pretty well. I know a lot of people say you shouldn’t stretch before a workout, but I really need to. I hate the feeling of being stiff and not having proper range of motion.
I didn’t stretch on Tuesday and by the end of the run, my calves and quads were feeling it big time....
Proof that Compression Socks Work

Last night I found out the hard way that you’re not supposed to sleep with compression socks on. At least with the SLS3 compression socks, that is.
I woke up in the middle of the night with excruciating pain in my toes. Apparently, they weren’t getting any circulation and were swollen! Needless to say I took those suckers off.
So, for all you SLS3 users, be careful!
Anyone...

recovery week success
This week is a recovery week, but I’ve already worked out the same amount of hours as last week. After tomorrow’s workout, I’ll have logged the same number of miles as my longest week two weeks ago.
That’s a recovery.

Thanks to two solid weeks of training and a hammerfest on my legs last week, I’m experiencing my first ice bath.
