Hey blog friends. I hope you all had a great weekend!!!
I worked a full 8 hours on Saturday!
So I have a fitness question for all the experienced distance runners. Here’s my predicament…
I’m training for a half marathon, my first. Because of my 2 jobs I skipped 2 runs last week and a day of cross training. I missed a 3.5 mile run mid week and my long 5 mile run on Sunday. I’m following the Hal Higdon Novice 1 plan so we spend 2 weeks running each mile distance meaning I have to run 5 miles again this weekend before moving onto 6. Basically I don’t know how to get caught up the best.
My idea is to increase my runs this week a little. Instead of
- Stretching and strength training on Monday
- 3.5 Tuesday (I’d do 4)
- 2 on Wednesday and strength training (I’d do 2-3)
- 3.5 on Thursday (I’d do 3.5-4)
- Rest on Friday
- 30 min Cross Training Saturday
- 5 Mile run Sunday
How would you make up the 2 missed runs (one of them being a long run) on a half marathon training schedule???
Good morning! I had to wait my turn for the shower this AM so I was running 10 minutes late to work. Breakfast was a breeze thanks to Starbucks.
