Last night was my third run of the week. The goal was 3 miles at a 12 min/mile pace. I did it in 36:06, which is a 12:02 min/mile. It was a good run. My feet were sore sore from being at work all day, so I was stiff at the end of the run, but overall I was good. My heart rate maxed out at 155.
So this first week of training is done. Lessons? Time to work on some strength and flexibility. Next week I am going to look into a pilates class at the gym. I will accomplish a strength workout. The running goal is another 3 day 3 miles a day plan, this time though, the time is a bit faster. The goal is to be between 11:30 and 11:45 a mile. There is no speed training with this training plan, so maybe we call this an accelerated pace. It would also be a pace I would aspire for on marathon day.
Some folks have wished me well on this journey this week. I just wanted to let you know I appreciate all the well wishes.
