First Day of Marathon Training

and I only ran 20 minutes.

Truth is, I ran yesterday for 60 min and did plyometric AND I have 16 weeks of this type of training. I usually go out of the gate pretty hard and then want to just give up a couple weeks down the road so I'm going to ease into it.

Here is my plan for my running:

  • Sunday - Long Run
  • Monday -  short base training run. Think about cadence with a low zone three heart rate.
  • Tuesday AM - weights
  • Tuesday - run during the Tuesday night spin class - I usually run about 15-20 before class as a warm-up
  • Wednesday - SPRINT DAY! 
  • Thursday AM - weights
  • Thursday - 15-20 min warm-up before Thursday spin class
  • Friday - break
  • Saturday - run during spin class

The hard part about this schedule is that I'm still spinning 3 days a week and swimming 2-3 days a week. Somewhere I need to sleep! Hopefully I can keep this schedule up but once I get into a routine it won't be too hard.

Oh, I didn't mention. The marathon I'm going to do is the New Orleans Rock and Roll Marathon on March 4.
