Marathon Monday: Week 8 Tucson Marathon Training

Wouldn’t it be awesome if I didn’t have to work? That way I could run/workout whenever I wanted. I haven’t married a millionaire and I haven’t won the lottery. That means I have to work my training around what pays the bills. I had a busy week (again) but I managed to squeeze in some quality workouts.

Week 8:

Monday: Swim 20 laps

Tuesday: Rest

Wednesday: Rest

Thursday: 8k Tempo

Friday: 8K Tempo

Saturday: 10K track (3×800)

Sunday: 30K

This week I will shift my focus to longer tempo runs. I want to get back to the gym too. My busy schedule has taken a nose dive. I hope to get back into the 6 a.m. habit once more. I really missed weight training. I’ve been doing some workouts at home but it just isn’t the same.

Adding the swim on Monday was great for recovery. I may just do that every week now. While I am not the greatest swimmer it was just nice to switch things up a bit.

Happy Monday!
