Here's what a training day looks like when you're a pro marathon runner who can't actually run right now My knee is still on its diva journey, so l'm deep in rehab, working in accessory gym days, and my surprising" newfound personality trait: + swimming lessons Lots of mobility, lots of weird-but-effective exercises that give me some odd looks in the gym and a whole lot of core and hip work to fix movement patterns that are my risk areas for injuries in the first place. Part 2 was straight to the pool for lesson 4 of my 30-day "please let me stop drowning" challenge, where we were isolating breathing, arm stroke, and actually learning how to swim properly.... and annoyingly... I'm enjoying it (dammit), but isn't growth #dayinmylife #swimming #running
