re: Official Running Log/Marathon Training Thread

Officially signed up for the prarie fire half in Wichita may 7th. This’ll be my first race longer than 10k. Training was a bit all over the place the last few weeks due to a small injury and getting sick but have gotten back into a normal routine. I’ve set a hard goal of maintaining sub 6 pace and a soft goal of sub 1:16 if I can hit a good enough ramp up on intensity these next few weeks. Gonna put down 12 tomorrow which will put me at 50 for the week.

Monday: off
Tuesday: 10 minute warmup
8 x 3 minute efforts, 1 min walk 2 min jog between each. Kept between 5:30-5:50 pace for each effort
5 min cooldown (8 miles total)
Wednesday: 6 miles recovery
Thursday: 10 mile moderate long run (about 7:15 pace average with some harder efforts toward the end)
Friday: mile warmup
3 x 2 mile tempo builds w/ 4 minute jog recovery. Maintained at least 6:20 effort the whole way through with the last one right under 12:00.
Mile cool down (8 mile (plus change with the jog recovery) total)
Saturday: 6 recovery
Sunday: 12 miles (hope is to be sub 7 average with trying to test the last 3-4 miles but we’ll see how my legs are feeling)
