Ran 1:10 starting build for LA marathon on Mar 18
45 min MVP session. nothing unusual to report.
Ran 2:10 in the morning, muscles felt a bit extra stretched.
MVP session of :45 helped, but muscles still stiff all day.
Next day, muscles not too tight at all. Calves are a bit tight. Will use roller to help.
Yesterday I was in NYC and ran 2:08 for about 14 miles. But I was without MVP and definitely my legs were more stretched than with an MVP session after working out. This morning, I woke up and definitely there were more than usual sore points in my legs.
Now at home, I am trying a :45 MVP session to see if that will remove some of the aches and tightness in the legs.....and hopping out of the MVP now, my legs feel a lot better!
9.9 mile run, 1:42.
MVP session :45
Last wednesday, I ran track 8x400 but didn't go into the MVP and think I paid for that with sore "stirrup" muscle chain and in plantar fascia. Bad! I think the MVP sessions not only help recovery, but also that flushing must remove by-products that prevent the tightening up of muscles post-workout. Note to self: never miss my MVP session if possible!
Back to NYC marathon training, only 2 months to prepare!
Ran 1:28 for 8.5 miles.
MVP session 30 minutes.
Previous week ran tough 1:20 in hawaii without MVP. Definite soreness after run and day after. Think MVP will be crucial tool to preparing for NYC marathon build in only 2 months.
13.1 miles, tough fast run 2x Stanford dish loop, in taper for LA marathon coming up next Sunday Mar 20. 30 min MVP session only.
Ran 19.7 miles 4x Stanford dish loop. Came back to 45 min MVP session.
This morning I was still a bit tight in the calves and quads. I do not think I could run a normal intensity workout today but could probably do my usual neuromuscular workout. Still, I'm pretty loose today even after a 19 miler 2 days ago.
Took 40g of protein powder today over 2 different times.
