| Snow Monday Morning! |
- Monday: 6 miles with a mix of strides and 6x30 seconds of hill sprints (5-8% incline) at 97% effort. + Strength Training LEGS
- I found myself pleasantly surprised with how good it felt to dust the cobwebs off of my legs and to get moving again at a faster pace! I was able to hit paces ranging from 6:30 -7:15 and considering I haven’t done much speed work or hills I’ll take it!
- Tuesday: 4 easy recovery miles
- Wednesday: Mid-Week medium long run = 8 miles + Core Work
- Wednesday’s are my favorite days of the week because I get to run with my Run Tribe. These girls seriously keep me going during the midweek slump.
- Thursday: 5 miles in Zone 2 + CORE and Arms
- Crushed this run and ran the entire run in the low 8:00s!
- Friday: 5 easy recovery miles
- Saturday: LONG RUN --> 12 miles with last 2 miles @ Marathon Pace (8:30)
- Alright who else hates long run with speed work thrown in?! I mentally get so freaked out by these types of runs. My coach knows I hate them but we both know if I want to get faster I need workouts like this. SO BRING THEM ON! I absolutely crushed this run and I am so pumped about it. The last 2 miles felt great as I hit that 8:30 pace. This would put me at around a 3:40ish marathon so we still have a lot of work to put in if I expect to be anywhere close to a 3:30 – 3:20 by Delaware.
- Sunday: REST DAY EMBRACE THE REST DAY!
- Allowing myself to rest more is one of my goals for 2021 as I tend to be a serious mile junkie. However, I know I need to give my legs a break if I want to hit my goals. Who knew resting could be so hard to do?!
- Total Miles: 41.4 Miles and Day 30 of my Run Streak!
- I’m not going to lie the low mileage definitely has me nervous but I knew when I started this training cycle something had to change. The high mileage, almost no strength training, with very little rest wasn’t working for me anymore. I am excited to see how these small changes workout in the long run.
Products/Things I’m Loving this week:
- MyStryde On Demand: This online platform is catered to runners! It includes On Demand Running, Strength, and recovery classes. I absolutely love the variety! I have been using the On Demand library for all of my strength building.
- Rabbit Waffle Collection: This collection is fire! It is made with a sweet mixture of lofted knits with a waffley pattern next to your skin to keep you dry and cozy! I ran in the beanie and the snap to it long sleeve and it was incredible! It kept me dry and both pieces were so comfy. I would recommend sizing up if you intend to use them more for lounging!
