Well, I am a week behind getting this out. Unfortunately (or fortunately from my perspective), it is not because I have been spending all of my extra time running. Here is a summary of my week 3: Monday: Recovery Tuesday: The gym at the Y is closed due to water damage. Hamstring does not …
Tuesday: The gym at the Y is now open, so basketball it is. Total distance was 2.64 miles. Ave HR 141 bpm, max HR 180 bpm. Hamstring feels pretty good. Wednesday: Strength training at NEPA Fit Club. Ave HR 117 bpm, Max HR 161 bpm. Thursday: Intervals at the track. Once again messed …
Another week is in the books. I am starting to get a little concerned with my progress. 26 miles seems a long way off. Geoff, on the other hand, completed 18 miles on Friday. Monday: Recovery Tuesday: Basketball.2.5 miles total with an Average HR of 144 and Max HR of 178. Wednesday:NEPA Fit Club Starter: Bear Crawls …
Well, I’m late getting this out again but better late than never. There are a few things I have figured out by now…I still don’t know how to schedule my nutrition and I need a new pair of sneakers. I am also wondering how I am going to make it to 26.2 miles when I …
More revelations… I still need a new pair of sneakers! and I don’t think basketball was intense enough to replace interval work on the track. Monday: Recovery. Tuesday: Hill sprints. 1/2 mile covered with an average pace of 7:03 and an average cadence of 179. Wednesday: NEPA Fit Club Starter: 70-pound swings. 15 seconds on and 45 …
Week 8 summary: I am getting a little worried. Most people have completed 18-21 mile runs and I have no gotten past 9.5 miles. I was not capable of finishing my long run last week and did very little running this week. I guess this will be a lot like school (and work)….procrastinate, then cram!!! …
Well, another week in the books. I’m making progress but still way behind schedule. Monday: Run. Went with the New Balance this time. I made it 1.5 miles before I noticed my right calf. It was not pain but not normal either, so I stopped there and walked home. To supplement I rode 30 minutes …
So, week one of training is in the books. I experienced some technical difficulties (spent a few days without my laptop) and did not blog on a daily basis. I am now wondering if a weekly summary might be better anyway. You will have to let me know what you think. Sunday: Ran Lake Scranton. …
Okay, week 2 is now in the books. There were some positives and negatives for the week, but I continue to move forward. Monday: The plan was 5k at 80% of my 5K Time Trial. I messed up my Garmin for the TT so I had to estimate. I completed the 5K in 33:39 with …
We are down to just 2 weeks left before the race. My training has been less than ideal and I still have not decided race day footwear. I may even need a few volunteers to carry extra socks, shoes, braces and assorted gear to meet me along the way on race day!!!Monday: Starting the week …
