Strava is a go-to and I’ve also wanted to do a half marathon plan out of this book, so I’ll evaluate both and likely come up with my own plan. ![]() I had the itch this morning for some speed work so I’m planning to look at a few half marathon training plans this week. I’m also feeling like my running mojo is coming back. (My tight calf is pulling on my knee, causing range of motion issues.) My calf has definitely tightened up a bit since needling last week so I have another appointment on Wednesday, but I can tell my knee is doing a LOT better even after one appointment. And, not forcing paces allowed me to run longer than I could have if I was pushing my body harder. Granted, running on my favorite trail in Blowing Rock always makes my run go by so quickly. How I feel: I was really happy with last week’s workouts since hitting 50+ miles almost seemed effortless. The last 1.5 miles were at a 7:30 pace which nearly killed me – ha! It’s funny to think I ran a full marathon at that pace but could barely hold it for 10 minutes at this stage in my training (or lack thereof).Sa – 12.2 miles, 8:19 pace, with friends.F – 6 miles, 9:11 pace – I crashed a Zap Camp run! They released their 2020 dates and I can’t wait to go back for another full camping experience!.I was pretty sore after this run (lots of climbing) and doing a short hike in the afternoon helped a lot! Tommy and I hiked Rough Ridge off the Blue Ridge Parkway – the views were amazing, per usual!.Th – 11.1 solo miles, 9:37 miles, on Moses Cone Manor Trails.W – 9 solo miles with strides at the end, 9:11 pace, on Moses Cone Manor trails.I ran with friends for my birthday and we finished at a local coffee shop and walked home with together.□Īnyway! Here’s what’s last week’s workouts look like and some thoughts about how to choose the best half marathon training plan - and what plan I plan to use! Last week’s workouts I’m so grateful for the flexibility in my schedule these days! I don’t think I’ll ever take it for granted after some seriously intense years with a Corporate America job + blogging + Beautycounter + a few other side hustles, cuz why not. On Thursday and Friday, I barely touched work so I ended up working on Saturday and Sunday once I was back in Winston-Salem. On Wednesday, I got a late start on my run, did a little work, and then Tommy and I had a date night once he got into town. I went up to Blowing Rock on Tuesday to teach a social media class for the Zap running group – it was so fun to see them again! They’re such a great group of people. Tommy and I had a pretty low-key weekend since we were in the mountains last week. But I’m powering through trying to stay productive and am excited to see one of my best friends for dinner tonight, who is visiting from Durham. ![]() Maizey was up last night around 3:30 and I never really fell back asleep (even though Tommy took her outside while I stayed snuggled in bed). Happy Monday!! I’m am seriously exhausted today. Running watch | leggings | race day shoes ( review here)
