I did my last cross training before Painter's this morning. 

Full body weight training followed by 30 mins on Arc Trainer.

What days are you running next week and how many miles for each run?

From rhett on Sat, Jan 10, 2009 at 10:47:39

CQ, thanks for remembering to call me PK. LOL

Dale, I don't usually decide exactly what I'm going to do each week until Sunday. I'll try and keep my intesity up but maybe go a little shorter than usual. It'll be something like:

Mon 6 mile tempo run at 1/2 mary pace

Tues 4 Easy with some strides

Wed 2 1/2 min repeats x 1 hr. but at 10k pace instead of the normal 5K pace

Thurs night EZ mile followed by 3 min all out lung crushing, lactic acid inducing run.

Fri Carb loading with Pop Tarts, etc. No exercising

From DonGardinero on Sat, Jan 10, 2009 at 13:39:45

Sounds like a great plan. I especially like Thursday's workout. Was that three minutes or three miles of all out lung crushing, lactic acid inducing running?

From Kathie on Sat, Jan 10, 2009 at 18:24:50

OK what is up with telling me not to lift any more and then you go and do a full body workout? I know you are afraid I might beat you right?

From Rhett on Sat, Jan 10, 2009 at 22:08:08

Dale, just 3 minutes. And when I say all out I mean everything I've got. The last minute of those 3 are painful.

Kathy, you did weights on Thurs. I lift on Tues and Fri. I won't lift anymore now. I figured you wouldn't be lifting 2 days in a row. Also, you have this a a goal race, and for me I will do my very best, but my goal race is Boston. If this were my goal race, I would have stopped lifting 2 weeks out.
