A Day Late...

Here is the schedule for the week of January 26-February 1

Short Run: 4

Medium Run: 6

Short Run: 4

Long Run: 8!

There you have it!  

It snowed a foot and half down here so I chose to run on the treadmill for my first short run.  I don't think I have the mental toughness to run 6 miles on a treadmill but I guess if it comes down to it, I will!  How did everyone's 7-miler go last week?

Don't run without spandex... you damage yourself.

Congratulations to everyone on running 6 miles today!!! Woohoo!  The schedule for this next week is as follows:

Short Run: 3.5

Medium Run: 5

Short Run: 3.5

Long Run: 7

Yes! We ROCK!!!  Have a good week. :)

The Schedule

Here is this weeks schedule (Jan. 12-18):

Short Run: 3.5
Medium Run: 4
Short Run: 3.5
Long Run: 6

As for myself, depending on how I'm feeling at the end of this week, I may just do 5 again... It was kind of hard on Saturday. We will see. Try the speed workout on the medium run day this week. :) Good luck, ya'll!

SchedUUUULE!

Alright my fellow runners, here is the schedule for the week:

Short Run: 3

Medium Run: 4

Short Run: 3

Long Run: 5

Do a speed work out on one of your short run days and try incorporating hills into your other short run day. From here on out the mileage picks up! Happy Running!

This Week (Dec. 29-Jan. 4)

Short Run: 3 miles
Medium run: 3.5 miles
Short Run: 3 miles
Long Run: 4.5 miles

Do a speed work run on one of your short run days. I was also thinking that if you get stuck in a rut and feel like you need to do a week over, you can. Because I think that 11 miles will be a long enough training run. But you should probably only do that once maybe twice. Alright, good luck this week in the cold weather!!

We Are Runners.

"What does it mean to be a runner? Simply that you run.
'To move the legs quickly,' says the Oxford English Dictionary, '(the one foot being lifted before the other is set down) so as to go at a faster pace than walking; to cover the ground, make one's way, rapidly in this manner.' Now, consider what the dictionary says about jogging: 'To move up and down or to and fro with a heavy unsteady motion; to move on at a heavy or labored pace, to trudge.' Is that the kind of activity you see yourself doing? No. You don't jog-you run. It doesn't matter how fast, how far, or how often you run, if you're moving faster than you would if you were walking, you are a runner."
--Claire Kowalchik (author of The Complete Book of Running for Women)
