Fall Marathon Training: Week #10
Fall Marathon Training: Week #10 9/6/10-9/12/2010 Last week was the peak of the mileage, but now we are getting into the two toughest weeks of workouts. This week ended with our trademark “Simulator” of 26.2 Kilometers at race pace. Next week will include a couple workouts, then the other trademark “2x6 miler.” So, while the mileage is coming down, the intensity will remain quite high. Monday
Fall Marathon Training: Week #9
Fall Marathon Training 8/30-9/5/2010 This week ended up being my highest week ever. I have been in the 140 mile range plenty of times, but have never cracked it. The week was solid, with plenty of workouts and obviously, volume. Felt pretty rough in the middle of the week, but a trip to Chicago rejuvenated me and my spirits. I am very excited for the next 5 weeks to come and go so that we can just race! My log for the week: MONDAY
Fall Marathon Training: Week #8
Fall Marathon Training 8/23/10-8/29/10 This was my second week above 140 miles. I have been up to this range before, but not since I did one week at 140 back in March of 2009. It’s really not as hard as you would think. I get up and run. Then I go to work. Then I come home, run, eat dinner and pass out. I may be weird, but for some reason, I find peace in the simplicity of it. Anyway, here’s my log from last week: Monday:
Fall Marathon Training: Week #7
Fall Marathon Training: 8/16/2010-8/22/2010 This was a great week of training. The weather is still trying to hold on for that last summer push. The mileage was up at 142 and things seem to be coming around! Getting excited for the race, excited to see what I can do. MONDAY
Fall Marathon Training: Week #6
Fall Marathon Training Week 8/9/2010-8/15/2010 Sorry for the delay, I know everyone was hanging on the edge of your seats for this one! It was an incredibly busy week last week and has trickled into this week. That’s why it’s Thursday and this thing is just getting done. Mike and Kelly Morgan and myself have moved into the Sell residence as Brian and the family have moved back to PA so Brian get his butt back in school. We did that over three days last week. With all three of us running a marathon, the unpacking isn’t quite done, because sleep is priority number one for all of us. Saturday involved Mike, myself, and our good friend Ryan Sheehan going to the Black Keys concert downtown at the Fillmore Theater. We completely rocked our faces off! Great show! All that, plus a 130 mile week has brought us to today, where I am finally putting together a summary. Last week: Monday: AM: Megatron loop that Morgan devised. 1:29, 14 miles. PM: Easy in Bloomer, after work. 33:26, 5 miles Tuesday AM: Gallagher loop. Big argument about calories. There may or may not have been a letsrun thread started regarding the topc. 1:17:30 for 12 miles. PM: Easy in Bloomer. Didn’t realize it was 90 out until I got back. 39:00 for 6 miles. Wednesday: AM: 3x2 miles @ MP with half mile jog recovery. Completely sweathogged this one. Lost about 8 pounds after taking the fluids on the run. Uufta… 2 miles: 10:01 half jog: 3:30 2 miles: 10:06 half jog: 3:30 2 miles: 9:57 Total AM: 13 miles PM: Easy shakeout. 41:15 for 6 miles. Thursday: AM: Shepherd with Bear Option. 1:21:30 for 13 miles PM: Easy in Bloomer. Tired from moving all day. 40:15 for 6 miles. Friday: AM: Twinkler from new joint. Another roaster. 1:28:30 for 14 miles PM: Another day of moving. 32:30 for 5 miles. Saturday: AM: Long run from Hart Middle school. Pretty hilly loop. Started at 5:59 and got down to 4:57, 4:59 for last two miles. 1:40:04 for 18 miles. Sunday: AM: From the Duck Pond. Sheehan, Morg and I were pretty tired from the concert last night, but well worth it! 1:31:40 for 14 miles. PM: Easy in the new neighborhood. With Sheehan. 40:15 for 6 miles. Total: 132 miles for the week. Starting to get serious about this!
