McMillan Custom Marathon Plan: Week 16 Day 3
Week 16, Day 3 Phase: Marathon Workout: 65 to 75 minute Easy Run Purpose: Build Endurance Felt a bit under the weather today, but headed out for a “kill or cure” run. The first couple of miles were rough, but things improved after a while and I ended up having a fairly solid run. At [...]
