Monday and Tuesday
July 27, 2010
Distance: 2 miles on Monday, approximately 2 miles on Tuesday
Successes: Running the first mile quickly, faster than expected.
Well, I started my 10K training this week. It’s an 11 week schedule, originally 12 weeks, but due to a scheduling alteration, it’s going to be 11 weeks. And that’s OK.
Monday’s run was a normal 2 miles through the park. Tuesday’s run was very different from what I’ve done before in my weekday training runs. I ran about a mile, then did hills (100m up the hill at a 5K pace, lightly jog down; do this 4 times), then ran home, about a half mile. I loved the hill work! This should help with strength.
These Tuesday runs will be like this - intervals, hill work, tempo work. I’m looking forward to moving through it.
Next run: Thursday, 2 miles.
Onward!
