Took a break from updating the blog with my training so last couple months, so here is a recap of the past 8 weeks while I have been training to get ready for Grandmas Marathon on June 18:
April 4 - April 10: 26 miles. Taking an easy week after finishing the Paris Marathon on April 3rd.
April 11- April 17: 51.3 miles. I ran the Purity 15K as a tempo run on April 16th in a time of 1:17:26 (8:19). Still recovering from Paris.
April 18 - April 24: 61 miles. First long run of 18 miles on the weekend with 4@Easy, 4@sub 8:10, 4@Easy, 4@Sub 8:00, 2@Cool down. Felt good and I was able to nail both fast sections.
April 25 - May 1: 65.3 miles. I ran the Nashville Rock and Roll Half Marathon on April 30th as an easy run with a time of 1:59:55 (9:10). Although when I saw the clock getting towards 2:00, I had to spring to the finish to get under 2 hours.
May 2 - May 8: 51.1 miles. I went back home to Owatonna, Minnesota, and ran the local half marathon with my Mom, sister, and brothers there to watch. I finished in 1:45:36 for a 3rd place age group finish.
May 9 - May 15: 77 miles. Ramping up the miles to get ready for the June 18 marathon. 20 mile long run at Shelby Bottoms with a pace of 8:50.
May 16 - May 22: 85 miles. Thursday I ran 10 x (1/2 @ 7:55 + 1/2 @ 8:15) which was a good workout. Ran an easy paced 22 mile long run on Sunday at a 9:08 average pace.
May 23 - May 29: 74 miles. With a race coming up on May 30th, I had a 17 mile workout on Thursday that included 4 x (3 miles @ 8:05-7:55 + 1/2 mile slow).
May 31 - June 6: 78.4 miles. Spent the last few days of this week in Las Vegas and ran 20 miles on the treadmill Sunday with a 15 mile progression from 8:34 to 7:42, averaging 8:14.
