Marathon Monday: Calgary Marathon (Week 7 Training Recap)

I didn’t go to Crossfit once last week. (More on that in a post to come). Therefore I had tons of time to run. I racked up 68 kilometres, up 6 kilometres from the previous week. Generally speaking my runs were pretty awesome. Sure there were days where I didn’t hit my pace or my legs felt like lead.

Stuff happens. No sense in complaining or dwelling. Nobody likes a whiner.

I love my Wave Rider 17s. There’s nothing like a new pair of sneakers to put a smile on my face. Now I need to see about getting some new running attire to match!



Week 7:

Monday: Easy 6.5K hilly run (10 repeats) 
Tuesday: 5K 
Wednesday: 4K (Rest #RunToCanadaDay)
Thursday: 7.5K 6×400 intervals 
Friday: 10K 
Saturday: 29K LSD
Sunday: 6K 

It’s coming down to the wire. Whoo hoo! Only 40 days or so left (and much of it will be spent tapering). I head into this next week feeling confident and excited!


Training in the Books:

How’s your training going? Are you making any tweaks?

  1. Nice job on your training last week! I wish I could say that mine went well 🙁

  2. Great week! I have never done hill repeats or track running. I am just at the very beginning of my first marathon training (well, technically the training hasn't even started yet).

  3. I'm loving my new runners these days too! Looks like you had a great week! Let the countdown close in!!!!
