This will be my 3rd half marathon, and I decided to take a more structured training approach this time around. So to help me with that I signed up for a half-marathon training clinic through The Running Room. It is a 15 week program that includes 3 runs a week with the group and 2 runs on your own. I am trading in most of the runs on my own for cross training at the gym as I know that I need to focus as much on cross training as I do on running if I want to stay injury free.
The first week starts you off nice and easy:
- Mon - Boot Camp instead of rest day
- Tues - 3k run
- Wed - 4k run
- Thurs - Boot Camp instead of 3k run
- Fri - Rest day
- Sat - 3k run
- Sun - 10k race instead of 7k run
So in total I ran 20k in the first week, the most mileage I've done since April.
Other than the crappy 10k Race on Sunday, I'm feeling great! My knee isn't bothering me and I'm starting to feel stronger overall from the boot camp exercises.
103 days to go!
