I decided to post this week's training and leave Sunday for it's own post!
This week was all about rest and having fresh legs on Sunday. If I felt at all sore, I pulled back. I knew I wasn't going to gain or lose fitness this week.
Sunday: Rest
Result: Rested
Monday: 5 Miles w/3 Miles @ Tempo (8:30/mile)
Result: Ran 5 miles in 1:01:26, 12:17 pace
We rented a car for the weekend, so I decided to drive to Diamond Head and run around it. Not a bad pace for a Monday!
Also walked 2.72 miles returning the car and meeting Les for lunch.
Tuesday: Rest
Result: Rested. I woke up sore and took advantage of a rest day.
Wednesday: 5 Miles Easy (pace 10:04)
Result: Walked 5.37 miles.
My left leg was a little stiff, so I backed off. I walked about 3 miles in the morning, then walked to the Marathon Expo and grocery store.
Thursday: Rest
Result: Rested
Friday: 3 Miles Easy (pace 10:04)
Result: Ran 4.21 miles in 48:07, 11:26 pace
My legs were feeling good this morning but I made myself take multiple walk breaks. Nervous energy is starting to build!
Also walked 4.31 miles, which was not a very good idea!
Saturday: 3 Miles Easy (pace 10:04)
Result: I knew last night that I was going to take another rest day. I walked too much yesterday and my legs were feeling it. I also had a total of 24 miles when I was only suppose to have 16 for the week. Les gave me one word of advice, "Resist."
Total planned miles - 16
Actual
Running 9.21
Walking 14.79
Total 24.00
Sunday: 26.2 Miles - Honolulu Marathon!!
