No running today. I went to the gym to lift. I am not feeling as strong as I would like, but that is the side effect to the increase in miles. The weight training is so important with racing. If you will forget the elites, regular people that race just don't look or train like that. So, many times the difference between a fast time and a personal record or placing is the upper body pump with the arms or the end of the race kick, which also incorporates the upper body pump.
Muscles Trained: Bi's and Tri's with functional core work for legs (connective tissues and tendons).
