OK so the step back week is done and now it’s time to pick up the pace a bit – I’ve got 4 weeks until the Wampanoag 10-miler and R’n’R DC is still 8 weeks out.
On the plan for this week:
Monday: Continue to bask in the glow of the Patriots win! Plus an easy run (3) & core work
Tuesday: Speedwork – 1600 repeats (ack!)
Wednesday: Easy run (3) plus weekly Pilates class
Thursday: Whatever run (4) — meaning whatever pace my legs will go! & core work
Friday: Yoga
Saturday: Long run (12)
Sunday: Core work or total rest
I’m going to see how things go this week – if I continue to find that I’m dog-tired on Thursday to the point that I’m still feeling it when I head out Saturday, then I may consider cutting out the Wednesday runs and adding a couple more miles in on Mondays.
What’s your week look like?
OK, 1600 repeats.. I agree ack and yack! and love your whatever workout.. I have quite a few of those lately.Enjoy your week.
Just reading your workout plan for the week made me tired. 🙂 and while you basking I will spend the day bowing my head in shame over the Ravens loss. 🙂 Have a great week
Thanks for the comment! You’re exactly right; these runs do make us stronger. Thanks for the reminder. By the way…I couldnt help to notice that you have the body build I’m going for 🙂
Thanks Corletta 🙂
This is one of those weeks where I have to cram things in, sigh. Today I did 3.8 barefoot on the treadmill. The rest of the week looks like this: 5, yoga, 8ish, 4, 3, some sort of cross training. I’m mostly worried about cramming the 8ish into my Thursday…
LOVE the quote!! Good luck with your training this week
I have my last long run before my first marathon coming up on Saturday, so I’m looking forward to a good run there. I’m not really “into” speed work at this point, but it doesn’t really sound like fun (which probably means its good for you…yuk).
Have to share that a smile crossed my face when I read about eh Wampanoag 10 miler, because I just read a Magic Tree House book (#27) about the Wampanoag and the Pilgrims at the first Thanksgiving to my six year old the other day. 🙂
1600 repeats? Not my favorite. I prefer the lung-burning-but-over-quick 400- and 800-variety. 😉
And GO PATS!!!
Good luck with your long run this weekend! Hope it goes well for you!
