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 12 Results

I really switched stuff up this week - I rode my bike twice!  I also ran 20 miles on Saturday - the first time I've done that distance in over two years.  Four weeks until the marathon and it's starting to feel real.

Sunday:  Rest Day
Result:  Rode 8.74 miles in 45:20, 11.6 mph

Monday: 7 Miles Easy (pace 9:52)
Result:  Rested

Tuesday:  9 Miles w/5 miles at Tempo (pace 8:30)
Result: Ran 9.03 miles in 1:38:14, 10:53 pace

Wednesday:  6 Miles Easy (pace 9:52)
Result:  Rested

Thursday:  Time Trial
Result:  Rode 12.5 miles in  1:21:03, 9.3 mph
I hit the trail for the first time in about a month.  We have had a tiny bit of rain, but it made a big difference on the trail.  No mud, but a lot less dusty.

Friday:  8 Miles Easy (pace 9:52)
Result: Walked 2 miles in 34:03, 17:01 pace
I was going to do an easy 4 mile run, but my legs protested.  I easily gave in since I had big plans for Saturday.

Saturday:  13 Miles LSD (pace 10:04-11:04)
Ran 20.09 miles in 3:51:00, 11:30 pace
20 miles is a LONG way to run!  I just kept saying, "Nobody said it was going to be easy!"

Total planned miles: 44
Actual:
Running:  29.12
Walking: 2.0
Cycling:  21.24
Total:   52.36
