I somehow got myself one week ahead in my marathon training plan so the workouts I did last week were supposed to be done this week coming... Oh well.

| About 18kms into my long run |
Monday: 2 x 1200m, 4 x 800m repeats at approx 12.5k/hr pace.
Tuesday: Weight session
Wednesday: 11km tempo run - 1.5km easy, 8km at marathon pace and 1.5km easy
Thursday: This is my rest day as I have picked up one day a week of work so it will pretty much always be a training rest day now.
Friday: Spin class
Saturday: 23km run with 1km walk at the end for cool down followed by lots of stretching and lots of eating. I included some trails in my run which always makes it a bit more enjoyable. And they are some of the trails which will be included in this half marathon that I will be running next month.

I have two rest days a week as I find this is what I need. Sometimes I will do some light exercise on one of the days but no actual 'training' as such.
This week I am going to do last week's training since I had gotten ahead of myself. Rather relieved actually as it means there is one extra week of training in there now :) 11 weeks to go, not 10... Phew! Hopefully it will look much like last week did with a spin class in there and a weight and cardio session of some sort, plus my 3 key runs.
I am really enjoying my training now when I can manage to fit it all in, and getting into the longer distances. It's not always the easiest to get all my training sessions in now with a baby, but it's definitely so convenient my Mum having a treadmill. Never thought I would say that I am loving the treadmill sessions!
Are you training for anything at the moment? How is it going?
Anyone run this weekend? How far?
Don't forget my awesome active incentive/giveaway that you can find out more about and sign up for here.
I'm starting to train for my 10-mile race in October, but I haven't gotten serious yet. I'm planning on doing that this week, since I've been traveling the last 3 weeks and it's hard to get my runs in in other locations!
ReplyDeletewhat a pretty path to run on! this makes me anxious to get back to running!!!
ReplyDeleteI ran 10 miles this Saturday on relatively flat Texas roads. I would love to have some trails nearby to run on!
