Thought perhaps I'd start posting my workout plans for the week here in a Sunday rest day entry. I've had a couple people ask what I was planning on doing leading up to Striders 1/2 so I figure this is a logical place to post that info publicly. Also I think this will help motivate me a bit to be accountable and not to cheat on any of the planned hard workouts.
This week is kind of messed up since I'll be spending much of the week up in Salt Lake at Novell's Brainshare trade show. Normally I would be doing my mid-tempo/long-tempo runs on Tues/Fri. but with the Brainshare schedule it works better to do them on Mon/Thurs this week.
Mon: 12-13 miles with 8 miles tempo at half-marathon pace (6:15-6:40).
Tue: 8-10 mile recovery run (all miles above 8 min/mi).
Wed: 5-6 miles AM, 5-6 miles Noon. Easy pace (7:20/mi or slower)
Thu: 15-16 miles, 11 miles at marathon pace (6:40-7:00)
Fri: 8-10 mile recovery/easy run
Sat: 10-14 mile recovery/easy run |
