Rest Day

Rest day today. Actually not all that sore and I felt infinitely better this morning compared to last night. Both my knees have some residual slight soreness on the exterior side, but hips, quads, calves, hammies are all fine. Tomorrow will be a WOD.


*note to self* I think this lateral knee pain is due weakness in my hips. Abductor strength is another thing that I think I need to work on seriously before these longer runs. Here are a few ideas to deal with that:

• Leg lift circuit before EVERY heavy lift as a warmup. Leg raises, L-overs, L-outs, hydrants, knee circles, scorpions. 10 reps at each minimum.
• Side planks and raises. Want to be able to do about 30 in a row for each side. As of now I can do about 14 comofortably.
• Pistol strength. Doing single leg squats may help develop thos stabilizers and smaller supporting muscles. Very weak here and need alot of work.
