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!

Marathon Training Week 7

This is week seven of training. After this week, race day will be nine weeks away.

Most of your routine is the same this week, with two easy runs, one day of hills, one marathon-pace run, and two days of rest.

Your long run will be 18 miles. It sounds daunting, but with a little planning, you can make it easier. Check the weather; if a storm is blowing through on the day you usually run long, do it another day. Plan to hook up with other runners for part of the run. Or download an audiobook to your music player.

Sunday:  Rest Day
Monday: 6 Miles Easy w/6 Strides (pace 9:58 pace)
Tuesday:  7 Miles Hills (no planned pace)
Wednesday:  Rest
Thursday: 5 Miles w/3 Miles @ MP (marathon pace = 9:09)
Friday:  5 Miles Easy (pace 9:58)
Saturday:  18 Miles LSD  (pace 10:04-11:04)

Total planned miles: 41
