Training Check-in – Week 11

check in Happy Monday!

With today being Columbus Day (or Thanksgiving in Canada) – hopefully you’re enjoying the long weekend!

After a much needed cutback week the week before, I resumed my Philly training plan last week.

So how was Week 11?

Monday  —  T25 Cardio

Tuesday  —  5 Miles

Wednesday  —  Yoga

Thursday  —  5 x 1000 meter intervals plus warm-up and cool down – 6 miles

Friday — Rest day

Saturday — 9.5 miles

Sunday  —  More rest – hanging with the family 🙂

I had planned for 12 miles on Saturday but the rain went from steady at the start of the run  to a torrential downpour! So for the sake of my cold wet legs and my iPhone I decided to cut it short. Overall, it wasn’t too bad of a week. As much as I want to increase my mileage and bump it up to 4 running days per week, my energy levels are just not there yet. Hopefully, as I get this anemia under control that can happen.

How was your week?

Do you usually run 3x’s a week or 4 or more?

  1. I run 3 days a week with my Run Less Run Faster plan and love it! I don’t miss runs and have plenty of time and energy for cross training 🙂

  2. I typically run 3. to save my legs more than anything else. I cross train/strength train though at least 3 others times so end up working out 5-6 times a week with at least one pure rest day!

  3. Looks very solid to me. I’ve always been a 3x/week runner until this year I upped it to 4. For me that 4th day comes at the expense of more XT, Not sure that’s a good thing.

  4. Looks like a strong training week! I consistently ran 3x/week for a couple years before switching to 4x/week at the beginning of 2014. I’m happy with the 4 days. It feels like a good balance for my body, especially when I do 1-2 days of yoga, too.

  7. I try to run 3x’s a week and a long run on the weekends, but of course there are tweaks due to my schedule with the kiddos. Hope you get your anemia under control and get more energy!
