Purpose: Build Endurance and leg resistance to fatigue
Left it a little late in the day for my Sunday run, and ended up running on the treadmill (again). I’m not a huge fan of long runs on the ‘mill; anything more than an hour is usually too much to handle. Today, however, I decided to watch the classic “Four Minutes” movie to help pass the time.

“Four Minutes” is the true inspirational story of amateur runner, Roger Bannister, and his record-breaking feat of running the first sub-four-minute mile in 1954; thoroughly enjoyable, inspirational and a perfect length for my 90 minute run.

Logging just under 50 miles, this past week has served as a nice recovery period for me. I feel fresh and look forward to step it up over the remaining seven weeks of the McMillan Custom Marathon Plan. Also for the first time in several months, I don’t have any shin pain after a Sunday long run. Thanks Coach McMillan for the 90 minute run today!
