Wednesday: 2.25 mile treadmill incline run
Core work: 24 lunges, 20 push ups, 100 crunches
Thursday: off
Friday: 2 mile treadmill run - I had intended to run 4 miles but there was an issue that I was worried that I was going to have to go into campus to deal with, so I cut my run short.
Core work: 10 lunges, 10 push ups
Saturday: 6. 7 mile longish run - first attempt at the long run resulted in getting lost and steep hills. I lost track of my splits when I got lost around mile 3.
Sunday: 12 mile long run, Splits: 11:08, 10:51, 11:18, 10:48, 12:16, 11:47, 10:37, 11:25, 12:18, 14:03, 11:40, 10:12. I was happy that I pushed through 12 miles, since I was having some stomach and back issues in the second half of the run.
Monday: 2.5 mile casual run. I met up with one of the other ladies from my women's running group for an easy 2.5 miles on one of the trails. It was nice to have someone to chat with.
Tuesday: off
This past week was a pretty epic cross training fail. I'm a fair weather bike commuter and the weather wasn't all that fair. And because I had to make two attempts at my long run, I didn't get in any yoga over the weekend. It could have been a worse training week, but it definitely could have been better. How was your work out week?
Great job getting through that 12 miler!
ReplyDeletesorry about the lousy weather, it's so hard when you're raring to go and can't!
looks like you got your running mileage in. nice w/the 12 miler.
ReplyDeleteand yah...the weather...it's getting to be Fall over here in Northern California...i'm excited, but hope it behaves itself on my outdoor long run days
12 is a tough distance for me. not sure i could get through it alone. good job!
ReplyDeleteNice work on the 12 miler! I thought about you when I was at my 20 mile race. There were several people who are going to be running the same race as you in Mankato:) My pacer said that she ran it in the past and that it is a very pretty course. I hope that your training is going well and that you are now settled into a nice fall routine! Take care!
ReplyDeleteI think you are doing a nice job--don't knock it!
ReplyDeleteI am having a great training week and loving the confidence I am drawing from it!
