I don't plan on blogging each day about my training like last week. I thought I'd give my daily plans on Sundays, then a recap on Saturdays. If something incredible happens, I'm sure I'll tell you all about it!
So here's the plan:
This is week three of training. After this week, race day will be 13 weeks away. You'll maintain the same routine as last week, with three easy runs, one day on hills, and two days of rest. This week's long run is 12 miles.
It's a big milestone, and it may be the first time you really feel as if marathon training is officially under way. Make sure you set aside enough time in your schedule so you don't feel rushed to finish the run and you have time to eat and rest afterward. Also, get your fueling strategy set ahead of time. On any run longer than 75 minutes, energy gels or sports drinks will help you maintain a steady level of energy.
Sunday: Rest Day
Monday: 3 Miles Easy
Tuesday: 5 Miles Hills
Wednesday: Rest Day
Thursday: 5 Miles Easy
Friday: 5 Miles Easy
Saturday: 12 Miles LSD
Ah, the Fueling Strategy. That's as important as the running part. I'll be working on a post about that soon...
