Had a really good week of running this week despite the snow. Did a run in a blizzard on Tuesday morning which was brilliant fun. Did 6x 2 and half minute hill reps on Wednesday evening. And topped it off with an 8.5 mile run today which took 1hr35. Lots of snow underfoot, some was fairly easy to run on - the crunchy stuff - but some was really knobbly and really tested the stability of my hip.
I could feel the inside deep in my calf on those knobbly bits cos kept pronating lots, but was fine as soon as I got on the road and off the knobbly footpaths.
Been working on glute med with these awesome wall leans. You lean agains the wall with the leg nearest the wall bent up and with the side of the thigh and foot against it. The leg you are standing on is the working leg. You press the foot into the floor and press your hip into the wall. Either hold or do 12x squeezes. Really hits those glutes well and you can get a good squeeze if the firing is a little dead. Will def keep working on those!
Really looking forward to next week. Lots of work carried over from this week, because of all the cancellations I had, but hopefully I should still be able to focus on keeping the running consistent. 11 miles long run next week!
