It's so hard to believe the Pittsburgh Marathon is only 7 weeks away! This week was a decent one, training wise, but the coming 5 weeks will be the real challenge since usually i do most of my mileage on the weekend and I'll be travelling 5 weekends in a row! I just need to be diligent about getting up early and getting my runs done even though I'll be with people.
Monday: 3 trail miles (you will see a theme this week) 26:29 (8:50/mi). I did a brief workout followed by 1.5 tempo miles and a brief cooldown. Left work a little bit late so I had to finish before dark! I am so grateful for longer days that started this weekend!
Tuesday: Off
Wednesday: Lower body lift am, 3.1 mi trail run in the afternoon (27:40 or 8:55/mi), 1 mi hike on my favorite trail in Laurelville to see the sunset!
Thursday: Upper body lift am, 3 trail miles in the afternoon (28:45 or 9:35 pace)
Friday: Off (B came home! I wish I would've spent more time running this week while he was gone but it was nice to be productive around the house and have a lot of girl time as well)
Saturday: 10.22mi trail run (Recap here)
Sunday: 3.75 recovery miles (34:24 or 9:10 pace.) Did my favorite hilly trail which goes uphill for the first 1.25 miles and then you FLY downhill. My downhill mile was at an 8:25 pace!
25 miles this week plus a couple of strength training sessions. Overall a good week!
