18 Miles on Saturday!

We're into week 7 of our 18 week training.

Saturday's easy 10 miles should have you feeling refreshed and ready for two more progression weeks - 18 and 19 miles over the next 2 weekends.

Here’s the full schedule for week 7…

Monday: Cross-training day.

Tuesday: Another easy 4 miles recovery run. Keep Tuesday's run slow and easy as we have 2 intense training days this week. Other options include the elliptical machine or other form of low-impact cardio if you're feeling the pounding. Most of us should feel good with last week's taper back week.

Wednesday:
Another cross-training day. Make sure you're strengthening your legs and core to support you with the upcoming long runs.

Thursday: We’re doing 8 miles at race pace (up another mile from last week's pace run). Hopefully the weather will be good enough to be outside!!

Friday: Another cross-training day.

Saturday: 18 miles today at a comfortable pace. Go slow, walk when you need to walk. The most important thing today is to cover the distance, not your pace.

Sunday: Rest!

The full 18 week running schedule is here!

See some of you tomorrow morning!!
