Wednesday: 4 miles
This was a progressive tempo fail. I did not do this workout in the last training block because it intimidated me because I believe my race pace to be a lot faster than I actually am capable of. So I need to reprogram paces, but really just not even worry and go off feel. Which is my plan moving forward.
- 5 min warmup
- Mile 1: 8:40
- Mile 2: 8:34
- Mile 3: 8:12
- Cooled down to hit 4 total miles
This was more like mile repeats because I had rest in between since mentally I was not strong enough on the treadmill to hit it in a progressive. I also was supposed to do 4 miles of effort and then a warmup/cool down. But I had a nice reminder to stop worrying about pace and just go off what feels good.
Saturday: Hill repeats 20 min
- Warm up
- 20 min hill repeats
- Cool down
- Total for 4.5 miles
Sunday: 10 mile long run @ 9:54 pace
Impressed myself with this one. My longest postpartum run and actually I think I have done less than a handful (not including during half marathons) of this distance. It felt good and I had so much fun. My first half was ran with a friend! I loved not having a workout in my long run because I miss just going out and running. I know this is my current struggle because I only have like 3 days in the week to run so they basically are all workouts. I’m hoping to be able to add in more days of running and then when my half marathon is over I’ll have all my runs back for a bit that are just fun with no agenda.
How’s your training going?
Any upcoming races?
