I was humbled on Thursday last week. I ran intervals with Ingrid and she flat out dusted me from the third one on...
When she runs, she actually floats like a butterfly. You can't even hear her shoes hitting the pavement. Thanks so much Ingrid - I feel so good about myself now!! ;)
Here's the good news for this week - we've got a relatively short run on Saturday - just 10 miles. Wow, we're making some great progress when we call 10 miles a short run!!
Here’s the schedule for week 6…
Monday: Cross-training day.
Tuesday: Another easy 4 miles recovery run. Always remember, Tuesdays are good days for some other form of cardio to ease the stress on the knees, shins, low back, feet or anywhere else.
Wednesday: Another cross-training day.
Thursday: We’re doing 7 miles at race pace (up one mile from the last pace run). Race Pace is the pace you plan to run in the Pig. If you're training for a 4:00 marathon, your average pace per mile is 9:09. Pace runs are not only an important part of stretching our fitness level, but a great tool to develop your stride and cadence in knowing how fast you are going on race day.
Friday: Another cross-training day.
Saturday: Yee-haaa, 10 miles today at a comfortable pace. Go slow, this is a recovery week. You definitely want to make sure you're fully recovered as the following Saturday we hit 18 miles.
Sunday: Rest!
The full 18 week running schedule is here!
Have a great week of running!!
Your friend in fitness!
