week 9: half marathon training

Posted · in well being · 4 Comments

The second to last week of training went OK. All in all, I really just didn’t have time. The 8-mile rune went alright. I was visiting my mom in the suburbs and took a lovely trail through a forest preserve that proved a great scenic view. However, I got a bit worn out around mile 3. I’m not sure if it was the humidity, some general exhaustion or what, but I was definitely slower that my average pace has been. I hope that my pace will be better come race day.

One more week left and then it’s off to the races!

Schedule for Week 9:
Monday – Run 3 miles
Tuesday – Run 4 miles
Wednesday – Off
Thursday – Run 3 miles
Friday – Off Run 3 miles
Saturday – Run 8 miles
Sunday – Off
TOTAL: 18 miles

    Don't worry about the run. I have a friend who runs the marathon every year and he doesn't train.
