Up early to go to the gym. I haven't been to the gym in a month or two.. I decided to run/ride on the Elipitical for 3 miles, then worked upper body weights for another half hour.

I'm trying to work on my schedule and I'm thinking this:

Mon - Track Repeats / Tues - Bike / Wed - Gym (elipitical & weights) / Thurs - Tempo Run / Fri - Off / Sat - Long Run / Sun - Bike (and sometimes off)

The only problem with this schedule is I'll only be biking about 60 miles but I guess the elipitical is a lot like biking.

2 Timothy 4:17  But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion’s mouth.

Agree,and with all the cross training it is keeping you sharp imo. Besides, your current paces prove it.

From I Just Run on Wed, Nov 02, 2011 at 15:23:45 from 67.79.11.242

Did you mean to call me "emo" and misspelled it "imo"...?

From Dan on Wed, Nov 02, 2011 at 15:25:51 from 24.209.83.20

imo = in my opinion :) emo = me not running lol

From derhammer on Wed, Nov 02, 2011 at 16:25:27 from 192.156.110.34

You'll be fine, just keep the schedule flexible. (I know you will.) ;-)

From Steam8 on Wed, Nov 02, 2011 at 19:35:42 from 166.70.55.77

Elliptical is nothing like a bike! Elllipticals...not a fan! I wish I would have known that before I bought one!

Looks like a good schedule. I will have to copy your routine. I ordered the book off of Amazon but haven't got it yet.

From SlowJoe on Wed, Nov 02, 2011 at 19:59:20 from 75.109.104.60

Nice schedule, you'll be strong and fast as an emu, imo.

From I Just Run on Wed, Nov 02, 2011 at 22:22:48 from 166.205.13.47

Joe,

My neighbor raises emu's...they don't look like they can run very fast. Oh....now I get your point!

Steam,

I'm starting the 16 week marathon program (for a 3:15 goal pace) next week. The first day of running is:

10-20 min warmup

3x1600 @ 6:12 (1 min recovery)

10 min cooldown

Second Day:

2 mile easy

2 mile @ 6:45/mile

2 miles easy

Third day:

13 miles @ 7:56 pace

I'll run on Mon/Thurs/Sat

Looks easy ha..ha...!

Based on this last half marathon I should actully be training for a 3:20 goal but I'm going to go for the 3:15 until I find I can't do it.

How long until you'll be released to do these kinds of distances? If you can't run these distances yet I say bike,bike,bike,bike....150 miles a week or 8-10 hours on the spinner if you can.

From JG on Thu, Nov 03, 2011 at 14:25:55 from 71.59.27.33

Looks good, I'd say just bike on the days you bail on running ... like today! :)

J/K! Seriously, you could always throw in some cycling on Wednesdays & Fridays if you wanted to bump your cycling mileage a little ... just keep the effort easy so your legs are strong for the run workouts the next day! Almost all your cycling workouts are intense ... a 10-12 mile bike ride at 15 mph still pays dividends, and is a great way to loosen the legs for a hard running workout the next day.

Like DH said, keep it flexible!

From I Just Run on Thu, Nov 03, 2011 at 14:33:11 from 67.79.11.242

Yes...the frequency and intensity of the biking is probably going to vary quite a bit for the next month. I'm trying to get ready (practice) for a big roping event I'm going to in Las Vegas in Dec. and at least a couple of evenings a week will be dedicated to that.
