Marathon Training Log: Week 5 - I'm spastic
The "Minor Injury of the Week Club" wanted to send me something new and exciting so I got back muscle spasms! It doesn't feel as if I've actually hurt my back but instead it feels more like my back is getting fatigued. I got a particularly bad one Saturday night but it didn't prevent my long run on Sunday. I think I need to start on some core strengthening exercises to keep my back up to par with my legs.
Training Schedule: Mon 6mi, Tuesday 3x1mile sprints, Wed off, Thursday 6mi fast, Fri 7mi, Sat 6 mi, Sun 12mi slow
What I did: everything except my Sun run was 11.25 -- my back started to tweak a bit and I didn't want to push it. Total: 39.25mi run
Weight is down to 189.0 which is good. I still have to watch my hydration, I think I got a little dehydrated on Wednesday (my off day) because I just didn't consume enough water while I was doing some cleaning and other chores. My body is processing so much water these days I need to be conscious of it all the time.
