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.

Next week I plan on starting another six-week abs program, which should prepare me nicely for the Richmond Marathon on November 15th. I’m also going to be more disciplined about my push ups and upper body strength, so this afternoon I preceded my treadmill run with 5 x 20 push ups (30 second recovery) and followed it up with 10 x 10 push ups (20 second recovery). Nice to see I haven’t lost too much strength……
