Week 4 of my Philadelphia Half training is done! Here’s a quick recap:
Monday: 3 miles with negative split
Tuesday: Spent a fun day with my mom – lots of walking
Wednesday: Pilates Barre
Thursday: 5.75 miles – tough run! My legs felt so heavy, I seriously wanted to stop a mere mile in, but stuck it out.
Friday: Rest and a massage
Saturday: 6.5 miles on a very hilly loop. My legs felt so much better!
Sunday: Hip strengthening exercises and core work
After Saturday’s run, I’m feeling much more upbeat going into this week. I’ll be adding more hip strengthening work this week, as well as some T25.

Thanks Courtney 🙂
i’d love to hear more about your plilates barre class — is it traditional barre? or more pilates? i’m so curious!

It’s a pretty good mix of the two – some weeks there more emphasis on the Pilates and other weeks, more barre work. Such a good workout!
Great week – especially that massage!
