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!

M4T W2

Most of week 2 of training will take place in Missouri.  We fly home on Friday, so I'll be able to do my long run from home.

This is week two of marathon training; after this week there will be 14 weeks until race day.

Your schedule will be similar to last week's. You'll have one to two rest days and four to five short runs. Your long run (LSD) on Saturday will relax to 8 miles. 


If you need to move your long run to another day, that's okay. Just be sure not to do two quality workouts—including long runs, hill runs, speedwork, or marathon-pace runs—back to back. It's best to follow any quality workout with a day of rest or easy running.


Sunday - Rest day

Monday - 3 miles easy (10:35 pace)

Tuesday - Intervals - 6-7 miles total
2 miles of easy running
3x400 @ 1:56 pace with 200 easy run rec.
2x600 @ 2:54 pace with 400 easy run rec.
2x400 @ 1:56 pace with 200 easy run rec.
2 miles of easy running

Wednesday  - 3 miles easy (10:35 pace)

Thursday - 4 miles easy (10:35 pace)

Friday - Rest day

Saturday - LSD 8 miles  (10:35-10:50 pace)

Total planned miles 25
