I have a feeling the hill sprints are going to kill me.
I was wondering where this was... thanks, Leslie!
Ok, I guess last week was a "peak week," so not sure what to do this week. Guess eventually I need to get back on the horse and start getting ready for an early June Marathon! But... we'll start this week with a rest day. I was so tired Monday, I guess it was needed.
Monday: Rest Day
Tuesday: 12 minutes elliptical (1.35 mile), .25 mile walk, 15 min. weights, .25 mile walk all at lunchtme; 5.15 miles and another half mile walk on the treadmill after work.
Wednesday: 9.15 hilly miles, 8:33 avg pace in chilly temps
Thursday: 12 minutes elliptical (1.35 mile), .25 mile walk, 20 min. weights, .35 mile walk (sound familiar?); 6 miles with .25 mile intervals and .66 mile walk on the treadmill after work
Friday: 17 minutes elliptical (2.2 miles, different machine), 13 minutes ab stuff, .5 mile walk all at lunchtime; 3.35 easy miles on the treadmill at home after work
Saturday: 10.5 miles, 8:34 avg pace; .4 mile walk cooldown.
Sunday: 13.1 miles, 8:26 pace (too fast!)
Totals: 47.3 miles run, 3.1 miles walked, 4.9 miles on the elliptical and 2 x weights/abs

Trails are hard!

Need a fast half for late fall. Then I need to actually train for it.
Plan, shman!
The problem is, that's pretty much been my plan since I finished my half in mid_november. It's probalby a bad case of engineeringitis, but I need to have something written down and be able to track the results. I don't free-form nearly as well as you do.
Hi everyone ,
And thanks again Leslie.
Mon: 60 minutes of UB, LB and Abs
Did one of my new w/o dvds: High Reps. Liked it, but I prefer STS Total Body. Maybe because of the slightly slower pace?
Tue: 45 min intervals
Pulled out Runervals 1.0 and added 10 minutes to make it 45 minutes as planned. Really enjoyed it.
Wed: 35 min easy + Plyo Legs
Nice easy tempo run: 5.5 kilometers in 35 minutes precisely. Ran out of time for Plyo. Maybe tonight?
Thu: 90 min easy + 30min yoga
Half day in the office today. However, something went wrong with the awards for company award winners and I had to stay to straighten it all out. Ofcourse other stuff cropped up too. Didn't leave till 6Pm and I never got in my run.
Fri: 60 minutes of UB, LB and Abs
Too lazy to do anything, though I was up early.
Sat: 30 min doggie run + HiiT w/o
7 kilometer doggie run + 30 minute LB w/o + abs. Sort of making up for yesterday.
Sun: 2h30 long run, I hope
6K doggie run (43 minutes and change) + 15K on the TM (1h40 and change). Not quite 2h30, but I'll take it.
Total mileage: 40.8 kilometers = 25.35 miles

I've never had a plan. But then again, I could never really run. So I just try to mix it up during the course of the week, try to hit all the crucial elements and then see how it plays out. Sort of like having all the varieties of foods on your plate for a meal in order to create a balanced diet. In fact, my biggest issue is that I don't take enough days off.
Thanks Leslie.
