Training Peaks (my training program) is upping the ante this week! The pace changes from 10:04 to 9:58, I have 7 miles of hills, along with a 13 miler on Saturday!
Here's the plan:
This is week five of training. After this week, race day will be 11 weeks away. This week you’ll have two easy runs, two days of rest, a goal-marathon-pace run, and one day on hills. Your long run will be 13 miles.
This week you’ll try strides. Adding strides to any easy run activates fast-twitch muscle fibers, improves coordination and leg turnover, and preps the body for speed. On Thursday you’ll have your first marathon-pace run. Throughout the program, these runs will give you a chance to practice the speed you’re hoping to hit in the race.
Sunday: Rest Day
Monday: 4 Miles Easy w/Strides
Tuesday: 7 Miles Hills
Wednesday: Rest Day
Thursday: 4 Miles w/2 Miles @ MP
Friday: 4 Miles Easy
Saturday: 13 Miles LSD
