Hi all, I'm new to this section of the boards, I typically spend most of my time on the budget board. Stumbled down here the other day, and thought this would be a good place to journal my progress and hopefully keep me accountable to my plan.
A little about me, I got into running about 4 years ago. I was training to walk a half marathon with my mom. She wanted to complete a half for her 60th birthday and show her younger coworkers that she could do it. During one of my training walks, I thought that if I could walk these distances then I could run them. One of the biggest motivations to start running was to be able to reduce the time of these training walks, as they were beginning to be hours long.
My mom and I finished our first half marathon, which gave me the confidence to sign up for the Princess half. I completed the princess half, it was a rough race for me in several areas, most likely secondary to some under training, partly due to falling off a treadmill a few weeks prior. Since then I've done one other half and have been in and out of training since and having trouble staying consistent with my work outs.
Which brings me to this journal, my mom and I are signed up for the same half marathon and this will be the 4th year we are walking it, so to train I decided to follow the training plan and complete all the distances running. I am following a beginner's plan as I have not been running consistently in some time. The plan has me running M/W/Sat and I plan to strength train 2 times a week as well, and typically a Saturday yoga class. The plan is as follows:
Week 1-4: complete.
Week 5: 3, 3.5 and 6 miles.
Week 6: 3, 4, and 7
Week 7: 4, 4.5 and 8
Week 8: 3, 2.5 and 5
Week 9: 4, 5.5 and 8
Week 10: 5, 4.5 and 9
Week 11: 5, 5 and 10
Week 12: 4, 4.5 and 7
Week 13: 6, 5 and 9
Week 14: 6, 5.5 and 11
Week 15: 3, 4.5 and 6
Week 16: 2, 4 and walk half
Comments welcome!
