You know you had a good workout when you come home and the special person in your life say, "I can smell the sweat [from across the room]."I will give her this, I was drenched. Today was interval training. I ran three sets of 8:00 min miles with sprints and hills in between. I felt good running too. Improvement is always a positive thing and it is starting to get easier to run on the treadmill. The dream is that this will translate to even quicker miles when I start running outside.
Not too much else in the way of obstacles to report. Training is going well and I am thinking I am right on track with my training. This weekend will be telling whether I can handle long distances. It might snow which means I will be on the treadmill again. There are worse things.
Tomorrow should be an interesting day. I was told I need to get the feeling of running on "tired" legs. So... I will doing an early morning run (5:00 a.m.). If anything will give me the feeling of tired legs that will. I am planning to put a couple of miles in and see how I feel.
I did purchase some running shoes, but am hesitant to start wearing them yet. The marathon is 10 weeks out and at the rate I am running I will wear them out right around marathon time. I figure if I wait a few weeks and then start running in them, the shoes will be perfect for race day.
hi. suggestion for the new shoes...start wearing them like every third work out day or so. this way, you ease them in which is better for your feet, and your shoes will be perfectly ready for marathoning come that day. :) the end.
ReplyDeleteI like that idea. I have also been told that I should take the shoes on at least one long run prior to race day.
ReplyDeleteI am wearing my shoes now. But then, I don't expect to wear them out by race time. The miles are not possible. ;)
