Tonight I ran a solid 8k. Thankfully my legs have forgiven me from last weekend’s beating. I put running on the back burner this past week to recover.
I’m starting to get excited about running the Calgary marathon (85 days and counting). Carleigh and Jon said they would sign up to volunteer. (I may just convince @suzesilver to volunteer too.)
It’s nice to have a schedule to follow. I hope to find my training rhythm in no time. I’m crossing my fingers that Mother Nature will help me out and melt all this snow away.
My long run for this week is 19k. My LSD runs are always on Sundays. However, I’m volunteering at Red Deer’s Hypothermic Half and I have my clinic group in the morning so this Sunday is out of the question.
I don’t think it will matter too much this week. I want to get back to my long run Sunday routines.
I should be running 6 days a week according to my schedule. I have to fit Crossfit in too. Likely I will do it instead of a steady run on Thursday.
Here’s a glimpse of my training schedule:
Monday – Rest
Tuesday – Tempo (6k or 10k)
Wednesday – Hills (Speed replaces hills starting in April until the marathon)
Thursday, Friday and Saturday – Steady run (6K, 10k, 6k)
Sunday – LSD run (up to 32k)
Feel free to ask about my training. Now that you know what I’m supposed to be doing for the next 85 days, don’t hesitate to call me on it if I’m slacking off.
