Half Marathon Week 4 Training

Had a little bit of a stronger week this week! I am just not a high mileage runner & never will be but I admire anyone who can be!

Monday: 5 miles on the trail in 48:48 (9:46). Not my fastest but I got some good mileage in!

Tuesday: 5.65 miles on the trail in 53:39 (9:30/mi). I did 5x400 m sprints (at 8:00/pace) and clearly on my recovery 400's I was taking it easy! haha

Wednesday: Off

Thursday: Upper body lift in the morning (20 min--felt good to get back to lifting again!) and then 2.5 very slow (10:00/mi) miles in the dark. I realized I was going slowly because I was so afraid of tripping on a root or a rock haha

Friday: 3.5 morning miles in 33:52 (9:35/mi) up the crazy hill where I live and down! I know a hill run a week will pay off for me I just have to keep it up!

Saturday: 5 miles on a flat route near my house in 46:08. I was aiming for 46 but the end was a struggle! I ended with a couple sub 9 miles and averaged at a 9:14 pace.

Sunday: Off

Ended up with 21.65 miles this week & I'll take it!
