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 8

After this week, you're halfway through training, and race day will be eight weeks away. This week you'll have two short, easy runs and two days of rest, plus a one-mile time trial to test your fitness and tweak your training paces if necessary. On Tuesday, you'll run on a hilly route.

On Saturday, instead of a typical long run, you have the option of doing a half-marathon. Heading to a shorter race during training is a great way to meet other runners, see a new route in your area, and break up the routine.

Sunday:  Rest Day
Monday: 5 Miles Easy w/6 Strides (pace 9:58 pace)
Tuesday:  8 Miles Hills (no planned pace)
Wednesday:  Rest
Thursday: Time Trial
Friday:  4 Miles Easy (pace 9:58)
Saturday:  14 Miles LSD or Half Marathon  (pace 10:04-11:04)

Total planned miles: 32
