Running: A Week In Review
Another week of training is in the books! I am pretty pleased that I went through the week's workouts as prescribed this week. It is not a first or anything, but it sort of feels like it. It was a tough week for my legs, much more so than my mind. My legs were tired and heavy for a large part of the week as I wrote about while it was happening. But here is the week's log:
Good week on the mileage front for sure. That is the longest week I have had since the Flying Pig Marathon. I logged 35 miles that week. So I am definitely starting to see the upswing that comes with marathon training in mileage again.
Saturdays run, I know that I talked about it a little that day after the run, but I need to say that it was a good one. It felt good to run that far and feel ok doing it. I did stop at stretch and eat some shot blocks at mile 7, refilled my water around mile 9 and that was it. I figure that is ok, right? I have gotten into the habit of stretching every few miles, and sometimes I regret that. It is not something that I want to feel like I need when we are running in Columbus this fall, so I have been trying to make it be "further" into my runs. So two weeks ago I stretched at 6, and this week I held off until 7.
69 days until the Columbus Marathon!

Are you still doing crossfit or did you put that on hold while marathon training?
ReplyDeleteI went to a trial class (first class free!) but honestly cannot justify the cost to myself. Well, I can justify it to MYSELF, but not to my husband. :)
