Week 14, Day 7

Workout: 40 to 60 minute Easy Run
Purpose: Build Endurance
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 to be honest. I guess the slower than average pace made for a quick recovery.
For the record:
Time: 58:40 minutes
Distance: 8 miles
Pace: 7:20 minutes per mile
So, after 9 hours of running, it’s another 70 mile week, and very nice to feel good as I begin Week 15 of the marathon training plan. Just 6 weeks to go to the Richmond Marathon…..
Finally got around to doing some push ups today; managed 124 in total made up of a 30, 22, 22, 20 and a max set of 30. Nice to give my upper body a workout too.
Steve,
Just found your blog. It’s great. Saw you will be at
the Richmond marathon. I will be as well. I’m only
doing the half. I’ve been running regularly for 15
years. But I didn’t start until I was 5 years older
than you are now! My son and I will be running
together in Richmond, what we’re calling the 30/60.
He’s turning 30 this month; I will be 60 in November.
I don’t turn in times anywhere near to you. I did a
10k this weekend in 1 hour, 22 sec. My half will be
around 2 1/2 hours. My only real goal is to stay in
shape. I’ve also just started a blog and website as
a hobby, mainly aimed at motivation (for both myself
and others). Good luck with your training.
Hey there,
Thanks for the comment. You’ll love Richmond – great race, great route and the crowd/volunteers really get behind the runners. I’m sure you’ll both have a ton of fun!
I’ll check out your blog and hope the next six weeks go well for you.
Thanks for visiting…
–Steve
