This blog is about my running experience. I am not a physician, nutritionist or personal trainer. I am a runner. I do not know it all. I am only writing from my own experiences. I finished my first marathon on June 3, 2012. Who knows where my feet will take me next!

Training Week 4

We fly home on Thursday, so I'll be changing my plan just a little this week.  I also plan on riding my bike on either Friday or Saturday.  It's been too long!

This is week four of training.  You'll have three easy runs, one day on hills, and one day of rest. Your long run will drop back to 10 miles so you can recover from the mileage buildup so far.

On Wednesday, you’ll do a one-mile time trial. A time trial can help you track your fitness and set realistic race goals. It's best to do this at a track, because it's flat and provides the most accurate measurement of distance. If you don’t have access to a track, you can do your trial on a one-mile stretch of road.  


I will probably run Thursday's 4 miles easy in conjunction my time trial on Wednesday.  I am suppose to warm up for 10 minutes, then run the time trial.  There are plenty of flat stretches here in Honolulu!  I will then take Thursday as a rest/travel day.


Sunday:  Rest Day
Monday: 4 Miles Easy (pace 10:04)
Tuesday:  5 Miles Hills (no planned pace)
Wednesday:  Time Trial
Thursday: 4 Miles Easy (pace 10:04)
Friday:  4 Miles Easy (pace 10:04)
Saturday:  10 Miles LSD  (pace 10:04-11:04)

Total planned miles:  28
