Well this week I was stuck indoors for all my runs because of rainy weather. Other than that, I had a pretty good training week.
Monday (3/10): I ran 4 miles on the treadmill at the gym. I continued my hill training to prepare for the Nashville Half Marathon in April. Here was my plan for this run, with everything at 6.0 mph:
2 minutes – 0% incline
15 minutes – 5% incline
10 minutes – 1% incline
5 minutes – 6% incline
2 minutes – -3% decline
2 minutes – -2% decline
2 minutes – -1% decline
2 minutes – 0% incline (7mph)
Tuesday (3/11): Strength training workout at gym
Wednesday (3/12): Our 5:30am group run got rained out, so we relegated to a treadmill meetup in the MUSC Wellness Center for 4 miles
Thursday (3/13): No workout
Friday (3/14): No workout
Saturday (3/15): I had to run on the treadmill at home because I had a training class to attend most of the day. So, I ran 8 miles on the treadmill at an inclines from 1% to 2%.
2014 Yearly Running Goal: 900 Miles
Weekly Mileage: 16.02 Miles
Remaining to Goal: 738.22 Miles
You have a declining treadmill? Nice. Great job on your workouts today, glad you got some runs in despite the rain. All mine were outside but I only ran 4 times so yeah… managed to avoid rain for all of em! Good luck with Nashville training!
Thanks! This hill training really has my legs sore these days, I guess it is breaking me out the comfort zone! I think we are going to do bridge repeats on Saturday morning if you are interested. Probably go over and back twice for 10 miles worth.
That sounds really fun and I need to get a 10 miler in. I’ll have to let you know- some friends are doing a brew run (from brewery to brewery) for 16 miles, and I kinda want to try running 16 before the May Day half (On May 1, I have the May Day half that morning and a 5K that evening).
But it’s really hard NOT to run the bridge on a Saturday morning when I’m not racing. I do love running the bridge!
