I think I’ve mentioned that I’m virtually training with a friend for her first half marathon. We’re doing a modified version of Hal Higdon’s Intermediate plan. So far, so good! Here’s how it’s been going:
- Monday: 3-5 miles easy/recovery: Did 3.84 miles in 40:00 (treadmill)
- Tuesday: CT or Rest: did 40 minutes walking Level 5 hills – 2.78 miles (treadmill)
- Wednesday: 5 x 400 @5k pace: Did 8 x 400 = 3.35 miles in 30:45 (treadmill)
- Thursday: Easy 3: Did easy 3 in 31:30 (treadmill)
- Friday: 3 miles hills: Did 2 miles at a 2% incline, in 23:35 (GI issues) (treadmill)
- Saturday: Rest
- Sunday: 5 miles LSR: did 5.15 miles in 55:25 (outside- OMG hot!)
With Lucy’s daily walks added in, I did a total of 32.12 miles for the week, rotating between my Brooks ST Racers, Skechers GR2, Skechers GRR3, and the walks in Saucony Kinvara 4.
On the food and weight side, I’ve been doing exceptionally well! I’ve been hovering between 117-118 the last couple weeks, and I’m perfectly happy with that :)
