Hi All,
I am back writing and doing video blog posts about my marathon/race training for 2012. I won't be writing or video blogging everyday, but you can expect more than once a week from me. As always I will give you a little bit of information from each day. Could be the weather, how my body is feeling, what else is going on in my life, etc. Since we are in the first week of January as of this writing let me give you my training schedule for this week (January 2-January 8).
Monday - Coldest day of the winter so far. Windchill of 6 degrees for the day. This was a shorter day than I wanted but ran 7 miles in the morning and 5 in the afternoon. 12 mile day.
Tuesday - Still cold, but not as bad as yesterday. 10 miles in the morning and 5 in the afternoon. 15 miles total.
Wednesday - AM Fartlek workout. 2 mile warm up. Then 1 min hard x 1 min jog, 2 min hard x 90 sec jog, 3 min hard x 2 min jog, 4 min hard x 2:30 jog, 3 min hard x 2 min jog, 2 min hard x 90 sec jog, 90 sec hard x 1 min jog, 1 min hard x 1 min jog, 1 min hard x 30 sec jog, 1 min hard x 30 sec jog, 30 sec hard x 30 sec jog, 30 sec hard x 15 sec jog, 30 sec hard x 15 sec rest x 15 sec hard. 2 mile cool down. Total miles = 10. Total time = 59:04 (5:59 average for all 10 miles). This is a good hard workout and the goal is to go hard, but on the jog keep a good enough pace going so the body learns to recover while still going a good pace. I try to keep my 'jog' intervals under 6:30 mile pace. My hard paces right now are anywhere from 4:45-5:15 mile pace.
PM - 6 miles easy and weights.
16 mile day.
Thursday - 13 mile day. 8 in the morning and 5 in the afternoon.
Friday - 10 miles total. Tempo run. Still figuring out actual distance. Will be 5-6 miles most likely. Weight lifting day #2 of the week.
Saturday - 16 mile long run.
Sunday - 8 mile easy run.
Week = 90 miles
Stay tuned for future posts as on my racing schedule and different things I am doing to supplement my running.
