Weekly Workout Recap: July 15th – July 28th

I haven’t been doing these for a while, since I wasn’t really running all that much.  Not much to recap when you’re sitting on your toosh :)  Marathon training started though, so I figured it was a good time to get back into the habit!  I may not do them every week, but I do want to keep up with my training times, so maybe every other week.  We’ll see.

Marathon Training – Week 1:

  • Monday – Easy 3 + 4 Strides – Ran 3.38 miles at 10:08 pace.  It was humid and rainy. I made a new friend (unwelcome) friend, Mr. Snake. Yay for Florida critters.
  • Tuesday – Easy 3v- Ran 3.02 miles at 9:51 pace.  Thankfully the snakes stayed away today!
  • Wednesday – Rest
  • Thursday – Tempo (1-2 WU, 1.5 T, 1-2CD) – Ran 4.01 miles at 9:53 pace.  1.5 mile warm up at 10:00ish pace, 1.5 tempo at sub-9:00ish pace , 1.5 cool down at 10:20ish pace
  • Friday – Rest
  • Saturday – Long 8 – Ran 8 miles at 10:48 pace.  Felt great, first time using ENERGYbits, never felt tired and could have kept going! Week 1 of marathon training, DONE!!!
  • Sunday – Rest

Marathon Training – Week 2:

  • Monday – Easy 3 – My training plan has built in bail days and this was one of them.  I chose to use it.  We found out about Sammy today and I was in no condition to run.
  • Tuesday – 4, mid 2 at RP – Ran 4 miles at 10:14 pace.  Supposed to be a tempo run, but had the jogging stroller so I did an easy 4 instead.
  • Wednesday – Rest
  • Thursday – 6, 3/3 Negative Split – Ran 6.01 miles at 10:20 pace.  Did not feel like running at all, but totally nailed it!  My splits were 10:22 – 10:35 – 10:53 – 10:34 – 10:01 – 9:35 all while pushing Mackenzie in a jogging stroller AND I passed a guy running uphill in the last quarter mile. Total runners high!
  • Friday – Easy 4 – I bailed on this one.  No good excuse, just bailed.
  • Saturday – Long 10, strong 15 finish – Ran 10.01 miles at 11:17 pace.  I should have made myself get out of bed earlier, I paid for it with the heat (87 when I finished) and humidity. Got it done though, with some walk breaks.  Forgot about the strong 15 finish until my watch buzzed at 9 miles, so I ran the last mile strong at a 10:28 pace.
  • Sunday – Rest
