Well I’ve reached week 11 in my training plan and it’s once again a race week! This time I’ll be toeing the line at the Newport 10 Miler Sunday – still not sure of what my race goals yet – last week was a mixed bag including really solid intervals at the track one day followed by a craptastic long run the next. Going to wait and see what this week serves up then check in with Coach Bennett on Friday.
On the schedule for this week:
Monday — 6 miles with a negative split on the back 3
Tuesday — Cross-training
Wednesday — 5 mile Fartlek
Thursday — Track work: 300 meter repeats & Yoga class
Friday & Saturday — Rest days
Scheduling snafus galore forced me to have to swap Monday & Tuesday’s workouts so I’m off for a rainy 6 now. Running 3 days in a row is usually something I avoid, but mentally I know I’ll beat myself up if I cut back on my mileage too much. I’ll see how it goes…
Great week, lots of speed work 🙂 Come join the weekly training link up on my blog: http://runnershoe.blogspot.com/2013/04/marathon-weekly-fueled-by-cupcakes.html
Thanks Jen!
So excited to see you Sunday!!! Looks like a nice day weather wise! Maybe we can plan a meet-up!!
Absolutely! It will be great to see you 🙂
Sounds like everything is planned and in place. Fingers crossed for great racing weather and a great day for you!
Hooray for race week! I am with you on the sporadic runs. Some are great, then some suck! Here’s to a great one this weekend!
Running on three consecutive days (especially with all runs at a faster pace) is a bit too risky. You’ll be better served by moving your fartlek to Friday.
Hope your race goes well! Looks like a great week! 🙂
