In cross-training, only two days of pullups and one of pushups as I cut back in anticipation of the race. I averaged 150 total pushups and 25 pullups per session last week.
I only went to Yoga on Thursday this week as well, as I didn't want to strain anything prior to the race effort. I have been letting the Yoga and stretching go a bit, and need to be more diligent with doing this whether I go to a Yoga class or not. The Yoga is just too important in keeping me healthy to set it aside, and I'm starting to notice a difference after only a week....a negative one.
Time to do a "reset" on my training and goals now. Although I'll be running with my wife in a half-marathon at the end of April, it won't be a "race" for me since I'll be going considerably slower than I normally run even on my most casual training runs. I'm looking forward to just running healthy and for fun for a few weeks, then perhaps getting in on some 5K - 10K action later to see if I can move my legs a bit faster at this age. It has been a LONG time since I've run a race at either of those distances....at least 20 years, so it may be about time.
Happy Running Everyone !!!
