Week in Review
Another week down in the quest for the BQ at the Las Vegas Marathon. Total miles for the week 56.5 miles including a 16.5 mile run on Saturday and ongoing speed work on Thursday.
I could feel how tired I was on my 8 mile run today. I am taking Monday off to rest and recover.
Overall training is 7 weeks down out of the 22 weeks. I am 49.25 miles ahead of schedule in part I am also going to attempt to run a 1:29:00 half marathon mid November and set my Masters PR on a difficult course. It will give me a feel for how I am doing on the Marathon.
A quick note about speed work outs. Speed is relative and work outs need to be tailored to each individual and what their goals are. I am a big believer for the 5K that 200/400 meters are the ideal work outs. Most runners need to learn leg turnover and setting a fast 200 is critical for that. Feel free to email me off line and I will be happy to give you some thoughts on what the splits should be for them.
Grandbaby continues to thrive so life is good.
Enjoy the day everyone!
