Week 13, Day 5
Phase: Marathon
Workout: 30 to 40 minute Easy Run
Purpose: Build Endurance

I like this; 3 easy days in a row! Gentle 30 minutes on the treadmill at varying speeds and inclines; perfect preparation for tomorrow’s 8k.

Workout: 50 to 60 minute Easy Run
Purpose: Build Endurance
Comments: Run 6 to 8 strides after this run

For the record:
Time: 30 minutes
Distance: 4 miles
Also, 3 […]
