A couple 5k's over the Summer, Western Md Half Sept 6

Week one of my Pfitz half training plan. Eee! There isn't much build up in mileage but the speed work ramps up as we go along, as will the heat! Should be interesting.

M: 13 miles
T: 9-10 (jog stroller/gym TM combo)
W: 9-10 ( jog stroller/TM), strength class
TH: rest
F: 8 miles
Sa: 9 w/ 5x3:00 at 5k pace, strength DVD
Su: 5 miles

[Nina]

Morning!

M: Strength, Balance circuit, and PT exercises
T: Cardio during day, Bike ride after work
W: Strength & Cardio
Th: Cardio during day, ride after work if weather permits
F: Strength & Cardio
Sat: Walk and Bike ride
Sun: Bike

Highlights: i picked up the bike my friend gave me to use while i'm injured and not allowed to run. I went out Sunday and tried it out. I was a little nervous riding on the road since I haven't ridden a bike since I was a kid. I mean I can take spin class all day but damn being on road was totally different and in a good way. I am hoping once i do it more and more I get used to it..

THE FRIGGIN HUMIDITYYYYYYYY. Oh and it's hot, but I think it's the humidity that is killing me. I'm clocking in some serious snail status runs here lately. 


Highlights or AW's from the past week?
I completely crashed and burned on my sprint tri. However, I signed up for another in 8 weeks...hello redemption. Also, in writing that I guess I better incorporate my tri training to aforementioned plan...


Happy training!

[libbygrl109]

What are you training for? Date? 4 mi on 7/4, Half on 10/12

Training plan for the week? 35 easy, 30 hills, 35 tempo, 4 miles

Any vents or issues? I hate when the rest of my life dictates my training schedule. I wasn't able to get my run in yesterday, so I'll have to fit it in somewhere else. There's supposed to be a thunderstorm right in the middle of my group's hill workout tonight, so that may not happen (so off to the treadmill I go :-( ). I have a cold that keeps hanging on, so that with my asthma has not helped my breathing during runs. And I'm really hoping my thyroid isn't acting wonky again. I've been going to bed early the last few nights, and I'm still exhausted in the morning.

Highlights or AW's from the past week? Actually had a good run last Saturday. I really do like my new training group. I don't feel like as much of a slug when I'm with them.

[water*drop]

What are you training for? Date?
Not sure yet. Definitely a couple of fall half marathons. I really want to do some summer 5/10ks, but I need to acclimate to the heat before committing.

Training plan for the week?
M - strength
T - 3 mile run
W - chasing DD around the playground
R - 3 mile run
F - strength
S - rest
Su - 4 mile run

Any vents or issues?
I took a month off after my last half, and I feel like I'm starting from scratch again. I know it's really a combination of needing to acclimate to the heat/humidity and needing to find some motivation in general because I know I couldn't have lost THAT much endurance in 4 weeks, but it still sucks.

Highlights or AW's from the past week?
Nope

[shellfish26]

This is the last week of my training group, so it's a light week.  Which I need!

Any vents or issues?
I'm feeling overwhelmed with non-running stuff this week, so I feel like I am slacking a bit. I'll be fine in a week or so.

Highlights or AW's from the past week?
Looking forward to signing up for the summer half training group.

Highlights or AW's from the past week? Had a great tri on Sunday.  I feel like I performed about as well as possible for me right now.  I'm still not breaking any land-speed records, but it's a good feeling to know you left it all out on the course.  I also had a lot of FUN along the way.

What are you training for? Date? Twin Cities marathon weekend 5k- October

Training plan for the week? Lots of stroller walks, hopefully another solo run of 3 miles this weekend

Any vents or issues? I am slow, accepting my post partum body is going to be a challenge for me

Happy training!

[niq]

What are you training for? Date? Myrtle Edwards 10k 6/29, Seafair sprint tri 7/20, Lake Stevens Olympic tri 9/6

Training plan for the week?
Today: mile to work, spin class, mile from work.
Wednesday: mile to work, yoga, mile from work
Thursday: 5 mile run with intervals? 10K? I dunno. Something.
Friday: rest
Saturday: bike ride? bike->run brick? shrug
Sunday: swim? swim->bike? bike recovery? run recovery?

Any vents or issues? I have this random pain in the inside of my left leg when I run. Just above my ankle. Sometimes. I couldn't tell you what causes it. Running fast? Stopping and starting?

Highlights or AW's from the past week? First brick workout. 13 mile bike ride->1 mile run. Biking was slow because of lots of stoppin & starting. Still, the run was at 8:00, way faster than I expected! But not sure I could keep it up for 3.1. Since I'm a swimmer I feel pretty good about where I am for the sprint tri.

[runaways]

It's not Tuesday anymore but I'm posting anyway.

Training for: nothing in particular. Still trying to hammer away at the weight loss (it goes very slowly for me), and maintain mileage and speed as it gets warmer.

Plan for the week:
M: 8 mile run
T: rest
W: yoga and 6 mile run
Th: lift and 3 mile run
F: swim, possible 3 mile run
S: 10 mile run
S: leave for Mexico, try to get in 3-6 miles either before or after

Vents: It's getting hot. I think it's getting to the point where any real significant speed work is going to be few and far between, which is easy since I don't have any big races for a while. I'm also trying to figure out how I'm going to maintain decent mileage once I start later this month. I'm thinking a headlamp will be a good investment.

Highlights: I haven't sped up much in the past few weeks, but I haven't slowed down either and it's definitely rapidly getting hotter. I think all my mid-day runs are paying off.
