Last Monday marked the official first day of our marathon training. Although we have been running quite a bit, now it is time to buckle down and get serious. I am going to be keeping a record of my workouts on the blog mostly for my own benefit so that I can look back at what I have done when I am in need on motivation.
We are following Hal Higdons marathon training schedule, it has been recommended to us by a lot of different people. Hopefully this guy is as good as he says he is.
I have become obsessed with reading other runners healthy lifestyle blogs like SkinnyRunner and HungryRunnerGirl. Reading other people blogs is good for motivation and they are filled with training tips and useful advice.
This week marked the transition over to early morning runs and workouts. It is getting way to hot here to workout at night. I also thought it would help me be more productive at night because it would give me more free time. As of now, that isn't really happening, mostly I am ready for bed by like 5pm (only slightly exaggerating). I hope my body adjusts. I do like getting my workouts out of the way, and since I am mostly still asleep while running, I hardly even notice it.
Monday - 4.1 miles, 35 minutes - overcast, cool. Felt awesome
Tuesday - Cross Training - P90X Core Synergistics, 50 minutes
Wednesday - 3.9 miles, 34 minutes. First morning run of my life. Felt good, but I was hungry all day.
Thursday -3.44 miles, 29 minutes
Friday - REST
Saturday - 6 miles
