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 W15

This is week 15 of training. After this week, race day will be one week away. From here you'll have all easy miles and rest. This week you'll really start to feel the effort drop off, as you have three easy, short runs and two days of rest, and your long run will be just 8 miles. You'll hit the track for one last last set of Yasso 800's. As tough as it may be, resist the temptation to do more—you've done all the hard work of training to get fit. Now's the time to let your body adapt to the training stresses so that you can show up to the starting line strong, energized, and ready to run your best. Today you have the option of resting or running easy.

Sunday - Rest Day

Monday - 3 miles easy (10:35 pace)

Tuesday - Intervals - 10-11 miles w/8 x Yasso 800
2-mile warmup
6-8 x Yasso 800 @ 4:00 with 400-meter recovery jog
2-mile cooldown

After a two-mile warmup, run 8 x 800 meters with 400-meter recovery jogs in between. Cool down with two miles of easy running. The total distance for the day should add up to about 10 miles.

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 26
