Hello! I’m training for a marathon in August and have decided to get back to the beginning of Run Eat Repeat – I originally started this blog to document training for my first marathon years ago. I’m going to log my workouts at the end of the week to help myself keep track of my mileage and notes. This is just going to be a quick recap so I have the bullet points for myself.
Sunday – Short run, forgot distance but I don’t think it was anything to note.
Monday – 6 miles easy. 21 day fix cardio workout.
Tuesday – 8 miles easy with 2 strides at the end.
Wednesday – 3 mile walk and upper body workout from 21 day fix
Thursday – 6 miles – 4 tempo average pace 8:14
Notes: That felt really good, I had a runner’s high for a while after this one. #love
Friday – 6 miles (8 total with some walking/talking on the phone)
Saturday – 11 miles
Notes: My legs were a little tired and I started a bit dehydrated.
Marathon training week 1 – 40 miles total
Last night I grabbed some Chinese food from a local buffet where you can fill up a container and pay by weight. I feel like it’s just as expensive as Whole Foods though.
which marathon are you running?
last week i actually had a good hill workout on the treadmill. those usually make me miserable but this time i felt awesome! im not a fan of buffets…those sneeze guards arent fooling anyone 😉
Hello! I’m trainning for half marathon but the final goal is a marathon. I have notice that after 3 weeks of training my legs are tired and I feel them like stones specially when I am climbing slopes, that situation makes me run slower.
Do you have an advice to this problem? I don’t know if massage can help, I’ve never done before!
Thanx!
I had a good run in the pouring rain! It was fun and definitely my favorite of the week! I love your fortune! I’m really excited that you are going to be reporting your training. I’m looking at starting training again for my second marathon in November. So it will be really helpful to follow along and see what you do!
Looking forward to tracking your training! What plan are you using for this marathon?
Saturday’s group run – it was so nice running after the rain (it stopped just before we flagged off!).
i’m running a marathon at the end of August too. This was a bit of a cut back week for me, but i did some 1000s on saturday with my running group. they were tough, but over quickly.
Woohoo for marathon training!! I have 24 weeks until my 2nd marathon 🙂 Today was my favorite run. Usually I workout before the sun comes up so the sunshine definitely spoke to my soul as I had a nice, easy, long run this morning.
Today! I ran 3.5 miles while on vacation in the Adirondacks with Lake George as my scenery 🙂
