I've added some steeper hills to my runs to get ready for my race. My calves and quads aren't liking me at the moment. Other than that, feeling good.
Highlights from last week?
I actually enjoyed my long run on Sunday. I don't know if it was the euphoria of finally being outside, or the change in my route to get more hills in, but it actually felt fun.

Highlights from last week?
Lots!   My 5K PR.  A few bearable treadmill runs last week.  AND, I found a new workout top that combines everything I want to address my weird workout gear quirks (v neck, hood, and button up sleeves). 

Oh, and I signed up for a training group that begins in April.  SO excited for this! 

[clseale]

What are you training for? Date?
Albany Half Marathon 3/1/14 and Gate River Run 15k 3/15/14

Schedule for the week?
Not a great week for schedules. Between work & home, things are nuts. So far, it's looking like this:
M: Moving 4 bedrooms of furniture back into house (just had floors done), T: Rest-work event, W: 90 min massage, Th: 7 miles, F: 5 miles, S: Some check-point challenge adventure race downtown. No clue. Never done it before, S: 15-16 miles

Any vents/issues/injuries?
Nope. I'm good. Things are a little tight from the marathon, but overall, I feel OK.

My plan for Albany was to either a) pace a friend for the full (break 4:00), or b) race the half, and then jump in to pace her at mile 20. I chose b, but it's occurred to me that this will likely be just as difficult, if not more difficult than option a. I'm basically going to have a 19 mile run w/13 @ HMP.  :?

Highlights from last week?
Not having a schedule & doing whatever I want. Both weekend runs felt pretty good.

[ebeth]

What are you training for? Date? RnR HM 3.15.14, CB 10 4.6.14

Schedule for the week? M: rest, T: 30 min easy+ core, W: track workout, R: 45 min + ST, F: rest, S: 11 mi, S: 45 min+ST

Any vents/issues/injuries? had to cut a run short and include lots of walking on Sunday due to knee pain.  going to test it out tonight to see if it was just a fluke or if this is an ongoing issue.

Highlights from last week? I went to the gym on Tuesday and worked out even though I got out of work late and super didn't want to.  I had to cut the work out a little short but I at least I did something.

[kams]

What are you training for?
IMTX 5/17/14

Schedule:
M: masters + 90 min bike
T: it snowed!! We don't get much snow! So I'm moving my long run to Friday and am going snowshoeing & taking dd sledding instead.
W: masters (+ extra 15 mins of swimming) + hot yoga
R: 60 min ride + 15 min run brick
F: masters + 100 min run
S: 3.5 hr ride + 30 min run brick
S: hot yoga / rest

Injuries/vents:
Everything is good still!

Highlights:
This is near the same volume where I peaked for my HIM in Aug, and I remember feeling whooped! It's fun to feel so good and see that my fitness has changed even since then.

[Deleted]

I have a HM this Saturday, so I'm just doing light running this week. 2 miles this morning then swimming this afternoon. Unfortunately, the forecast is calling for a high of 5F on Saturday, so it's going to be a cold race. Hopefully there's no wind.

M-4
T-R

Any vents/issues/injuries?
Tired legs, achy ankle, and moody funk that I can't seem to shake.  Also lots of self-doubt for my race...looking at last year's splits and thinking how/why did that happen??  Is it going to happen again?  Did I do enough to have a strong race?  etc etc.  This is the part of the taper that I don't like at all!! 

Highlights from last week?
My last double digit training run, yippee!

Not really

[boston340]

What are you training for? Date?
My next big event is Indianapolis Women's Half Marathon on 6/7.  I may do a 5k before that though.  We live in rural Ohio and there aren't a ton of race options within a short driving distance.


Schedule for the week?

M - yoga and 3 miles on treadmill (this is usually my speedwork day, but just wasn't feeling it yesterday)
T - spin and weights
W - yoga, 30 minute swim, 4 miles of speedwork on treadmill (this is HARD for me after swimming)
Th - spin and weights
F - maybe swim or maybe rest - Fridays are tough for me
S - 8 mile long run
Sun - 2-3 recovery miles and usually a workout DVD


Any vents/issues/injuries?

I need to do more foam rolling and concentrate on doing things to pro-actively prevent injuries.  I desperately want to break 2 hours in this half marathon.


Highlights from last week?


Ugh, none!  I had been gone 2 weeks prior to last week for work and every night last week we had something to go to and I hardly did any training.  I'm desperate to get back on schedule!

Can't wait to hear how you like the 310!  I recently got my first Garmin (220) and have been loving it!

Oooohhh....Costa Rica!  Have fun!  I'm sure you'll get plenty of workouts in with all the hiking and outdoor activities there.  Congrats on the 5K PR too!  

Can you post details about the new workout top?  I desperately need some new gear.  I stocked up about 2 years ago on tops and capris and everything is quickly wearing out.

[sadlebred]

What are you training for? Date? Mountain bike racing. My season vaguely begins in mid-March. I'll do a race or two in Feb. for fun.

Highlights from last week? My longest road ride since knee surgery was last Sat. I did 58.5 miles.

[pag41989]

What are you training for? Date?
Taking a break for a couple weeks after the half but then will be training for the Springtime Tallahassee 10K on 3/29. I have also been talking with DH and we might be using our tax return to travel to the RnR half marathon in Savannah, GA on 11/8.. so excited!

Schedule for the week?
Resting and getting over my soreness. I might do a short 2 miler thursday and I am doing a local 5K on Saturday. It is actually the first 5K I ever did last year so I am going back and am hoping to get a new PR.

Any vents/issues/injuries?
I can still barely walk and am wobbling like a duck.. other than that all is good.

Highlights from last week?
Ran my first half marathon

[otowngirl]

~Fri: Masters/run
~Sat: 35 mile ride
~Sun: 60 minute run

Any vents/issues/injuries?
~I am having so much trouble with my feet, it's really holding back my running. I think I gained too much weight while recouping from knee surgery, and the extra weight isn't helping. I'm also having trouble getting motivated to actually train 90% of the time.

Highlights from last week?
~ I did much better fueling my long bike ride, and held strong for 30 miles.

[CallingAllAngels]

Same vent, different day: traveling DH + 2 kids + full time job = not enough time for training

Highlights from last week?
Last week kind of sucked, but I got all my runs in and met my mileage goal for the week so :Y:

[hannahb]

B&A half marathon.

I'm not following a schedule. Just want to get in a long run and a speed workout. This weather keeps screwing me up which makes me angry. If I have no plan I can't get angry, right?

I feel good. I just feel slow

Hope everything goes ok; I'm sure it will be a juggling act to readjust to the new schedule. Sorry about your H's grandmother.
