First day of marathon training. My moms helping me manage my training a little better so I don't end up over training again. Mondays and Thursday are speed work days. Today felt pretty good. I had some minor foot pain toward the end of my cool down. I ran on the treadmill so I could be more pace specific. My moms also having me walk at an incline, fowards and backwards to help build my legs and avoid injury. I didn't push too hard today, just kind of relaxed. I'm going to try and finish my repeats faster than I started them. This was also my first faster run in my Adidas Energy Boosts and they felt great. We were at the gym by 4:30 am; starting the day off right.
*1 mile warm up @ 8:40 pace.
*4 1/2 mile repeats:
-.5 mile @ 6:11 pace. (9.7 mph)
-.5 mile @ 6:07 pace. (9.8 mph)
-.5 mile @ 6:00 pace. (10 mph)
-.5 mile @ 5:53 pace. (10.2 mph)
*1 mile cool down @ 9:13 pace.
*3 mph walk @ 18% (5 minutes)
*1.9 mph walk backwards @ 21% (5 minutes)
After this little speed work setting I did some leg stretches, soaked my legs in the hot tub, and then spent 10 minutes in the Sauna. Gonna do an easy 4 miles tomorrow. I'm also looking forward to lifting tomorrow. Mom's procedure is tomorrow. About time!
