I'm kicking off a new marathon training cycle, and remembering that I find this format really helpful in keeping track of how things are progressing, how I'm feeling, and what I love/hate about it all. I missed it during Columbia Gorge training, and Strava just isn't the same for me.
I left my running group when I moved far, far away, so I've built my own training plan based mostly on the Run Less, Run Faster plan. I enjoy the lower overall mileage, and intentionality of each run, and hoping I'm not misremembering that. That plan is only 16 weeks, so I'm spending the next six weeks as "base building" and strength, before really kicking things off at the beginning of March.
Last week...
- Mon: Travel day, 3.5 easy
- Fri: 2 miles easy
- Sun: 3M Half, which, despite the tagline being "Downhill to Downtown" is actually very hilly. I've run this race a few times now, and actually really enjoy it. I enjoy it much more when there are several booze stops on the way to the finish line. This is when we realized we were about to get our first shot of the day.
- Mon: Strength. I'm still into the Fitness Blender videos, and I did this video this morning.
- Tues: 3 easy, upper body
- Wed: abs & lower body pilates
- Thurs: 3 easy, upper body
- Fri: knee-friendly butt and thigh, i'm old and have knee issues :(
- Sat: 6 easy, recovery stretches
- Sun: hike/rest
Wheeee.
