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!
