Monday- Today, we both did a steady 13 km outside. Both of us felt good.
Tuesday- We did core and we both had to run on the treadmill late at night because we were busy doing something. Leslie ran a very fast 8 km because Laura needed the treadmill as soon as possible. Laura did dance, but Leslie was advised to skip this week by her physiotherapist due to her sore knees.
Wednesday- We woke up early to go to Badminton practice for an hour and a half. For the workout in London we did a warm up as usual and 4 strides. Next we did our tempo, which was 3 loops (about 3.75 km). Then we did 3x1 km fast. Laura felt pretty good. Leslie felt good, she had a bit of a stomach ache in the beginning but enjoyed the run. The we did drills, 4 strides, and a cool down.
Thursday- Both of us did core. Leslie is getting bad blisters again on her arches, so she took today’s run off. Laura ran an easy 9 km outside. Then we went to Badminton Club for an hour and a half.
Friday- Today we did an easy 5 km outside. Leslie felt okay.
Saturday- For the workout we began with a warm up and strides. This was followed by 2 long hills, by running hard up and over the hill and easy coming back. Then we did a 2.25 km loop. We did 2 more hills and another 2.25 km. Leslie ran with Katie for the whole workout, which was nice to have someone at her pace. To finish we did strides and a cool down.
Sunday- We both ran an easy 8 km outside, and did core.
