Hey all! I need to get back into habit of daily posts. But until I do, here is a recap of the past week. I really have began to increase my miles. I totalled 34 miles running for the week and 3.5 miles of moderate-hard hike. I ran one 5K night race. Been a good week overall.
Monday: ran 6 miles in 56:27. Averaged 9:25 pace. Felt really good for first 6 mile run in while. Had some nice hills, nothing real difficult. Only bad thing was I finished 1 mile from home. Got a little off my course. Thought I was going to be able to turn before actually did. But good cooldown walk after run. Stretch when done.
Tuesday: I ran 6 miles in 1.5 mile intervals with 3 min exercise routine at each interval. Great workout this day.
Ran 1.5 miles
Muscle ups til failure 3 min
Ran 1.5 miles
Burpees for 3 min
Ran 1.5 miles
Push ups for 3 min
Ran 1.5 miles
Bridges for 3 min
Stretch
Wednesday: I ran another 6 mile run this morning. Slower pace than Monday. Little sore and stiff from previous 2 days. Completed this run in 59:21, a 9:53 pace. Still glad I got out and ran this morning. Not really worried about pace, just putting in the miles.
Thursday: This workout was inspired by +Lora Zayn. She had posted 2 HIIT routines the past 2 weeks to try, so I thought would try both in same day with 3 mile run intervals. Let me just say after the first interval, my butt was handed to me. I will definitely try this again this coming week. Here is the routine, I allowed 10 min between runs to do the HIIT workout.
Run 3 miles
AFAP (took me 9:35 to complete)
100 push up
100 crunches
100 squats (after this interval was done)
Run 3 miles
AFAP ( 3 rounds 15 reps each)
Overhead Press (alt single arm from ground to overhead total 30 reps per set)
Dips
Cross leg push ups (perform push up then bring one knee to alt elbow then bring other knee to alt elbow, repeat)
Stretch
Did not make it to the 2nd interval, but don't know if would have completed in 10 min. We will see this coming week.
Friday: I ran the 3rd Annual Downtown After Dark 5k in McMinnville, TN that night. Great race, very hilly!! I ran a 23:37 time. Finished 7th overall and 1st in my age group. Not too bad for this race.
Saturday: Hiked 3.5 miles of moderate to hard trails in middle TN. Felt great to just be outside with the weather being nice.
Sunday: Today I ran 10 miles. Course was hilly with some pretty good climbs. I finished today's run in 1:35:49, average 9:35 pace. I wanted to maintain around a 10 min mile pace, so not too bad for today.
Can't wait to see what next week brings. I only have 10 weeks til race day for my Marathon. So the miles and training will continue to increase.
Hope everyone's training continues to go well.
