McMillan Custom Marathon Plan: Week 14 Day 7 & Some Push Ups

Week 14, Day 7
Phase: Marathon
Workout: 40 to 60 minute Easy Run
Purpose: Build Endurance

Easy hour of running after an hour cutting grass. Actually, the last 3 or 4 miles weren’t that easy, as I decided to push the pace and finish the workout off strong.
Can’t believe how good my legs feel after yesterday’s 23.5 miles […]

Phase: Marathon
Workout: 30 to 40 minute Easy Run

Nice of Coach McMillan to schedule another easy run today; I guess he must have known my legs would still be a bit sore after Sunday’s […]
