I still haven't found a strength training plan. I take that back, I have found a bunch of plans but I am looking for one that I can do. A lot of them seem to focus on body weight exercises that I do not have the strength to do yet. But I am still looking. I am thinking about meeting with a personal trainer here in Duluth. One of the fitness centers has a running club and I might try to meet with their coach.
I did not run last night as scheduled. But I did run this morning. I will update my training schedule as I get my runs in. This morning's run was okay. I ran the entire first mile and then probably at least a 1/2 mile after that.
My first mile was great! I was very happy with the time. Of course, when I look at the pace/elevation chart, my first 18 minutes were downhill. That means my second mile time was even worse! (It will be better tomorrow!) Apparently I just gave up during my third mile. I am working on this half-marathon one mile at a time. So that's okay, mile 1 is good.
I tried a new route today. I like the new route for my normal runs. My old route is very hilly.


Your Sunday rest days can also be cross training days (meaning you work out, but not run). This can be wear you put strength training or biking or anything.
ReplyDeleteThat is the plan! I figured Friday would frequently be a real rest day with maybe some light yoga or stretching. But Sunday will either be strength training or swimming/something not running.
