I forgot to post this yesterday - we had a super busy and fun weekend! I ran 5 miles easy this morning - in the rain! And I was in Simi Valley, not Honoulu! Very strange for July around here. The only problem, since I forgot to post my plan, I also forgot to do strides this morning. There's always next time...
This is week five of training. 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 16
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/4 Strides (pace 9:58 pace)
Tuesday: 7 Miles Hills (no planned pace)
Wednesday: Rest
Thursday: 4 Miles w/2 Miles @ MP (marathon pace = 9:09)
Friday: 4 Miles Easy (pace 9:58)
Saturday: 16 Miles LSD (pace 10:04-11:04) This will hopefully be 13 miles, but we'll see.
Total planned miles 32
