Another rest day
As I mentioned in my previous post last weekend was a complete write off with so much to cram into such a small space of time it just wasn't going happen. I vowed to make up for it this week though.
Monday
Boxercise
1 hour
Yoga for runners
20 minutes
This is the first time I have done yoga and oh my! My legs are so much tighter than I imagined. I'm now going to try and work this into my plan by including 3 sessions a week. I did this before bed and it really helped switch me off for the day.
Tuesday
5.1 miles
10:30 pace
1 mile - warm up
3 miles - Indian file (run in a line, person at the back sprints to the front)
1 mile - cool down
We have done this session once before and both times I have really enjoyed it. It is the only speed work sessions I really like.
Wednesday
Yoga for runners
20 minutes
Thursday
3.1 miles
10:40 pace
Slow one ready for the epic 18 miles I will undertake at the weekend
Friday
18.41 miles!!!
Longest run to date
11:40ish pace.
Slower than my marathon pace - Hoping this was because it was after work and I was tired. Hopefully next weekend will be a little quicker. But if I have to drop my marathon pace then so be it.
Saturday
Rest
We do the Indian fartlek session quite a lot at club too!
ReplyDeleteYou ran nearly 18.5 miles AFTER work?! That is hardcore!!! :-)
It's a really good session. I'm not usually a fan of speed but really enjoy that.
DeleteUnfortunately yes and during a storm, if I can do that I can do the marathon right. It was slow and painful and I'm pretty sure I shuffled the last 2 miles. How am I ever going to run 8 more miles on top of that?!
