The plan should be your Advisor, but yo...Hi Corey,<br /><br />The plan should be your Advisor, but your feeling must be king.<br /><br />I run a lot of millage, so im used to my legs feeling tired, to them often taking a little while to warm up to a run, I think thats pretty common amoung people with big volume. So just because my legs are sore, i dont skip a run. Instead what i do is pay attention to my feeling and how i rate the run when im done.. and in particular to the trend over the last couple of days.<br /><br />If the feeling trends down, or im not enjoying things or finding it hard its a sign to me that i need an extra bit of rest.<br /><br />At the end of the day, staying injury free, and able to continue training is more important to me than any one workout, or even a weekly millage goal, a running streak, or any other short term milestone.<br /><br />The thing to do is to look at your long term goals.. mine are Boston sub 3, then im thinking about a 6hr race at the end of summer, and maybe racing the ultra i ran this fall... long term goals, that are not affected by missing one workout because it was MORE IMPORTANT to recover and stay injury free.<br /><br />Cant really comment on the cookies... other than im relying on there simply not being any post holiday season.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18325523666604497036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328552658810661486.post-77570922047583162582011-12-22T21:18:44.760-08:002011-12-22T21:18:44.760-08:00Oh man, I am an expert at not listening to my body...Oh man, I am an expert at not listening to my body and getting stuck on a plan. You're totally right. It never ends well. Things have gone much better lately by paying attention to what my body is saying. <br /><br />I'm having the same problem....I can't pass up the cookies and cake sitting in the break room at work.Cory Reesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04211348156621152998noreply@blogger.com
