Well we didn't have a post last week so I have no goals to revisit but I thought I would get it started for this week.
Overall last week had its downs and ups. The downs were that I was traveling so my workouts were so-so. Got most of them in but maybe not as written by the coach or as long as the coach wanted. The up was a huge half marathon PR for me at the March Madness Half Marathon in Cary, IL. I ran a 1:51:37 (watch time - it was not chipped time so not sure of my official result but I know it was under 1:52) which is just about 14 minutes faster than my half mary PR I ran last May. And this course was way hillier than my PR course. So I am super stoked that I am now somewhat fast. I mean 8:30s for 13.1 is sorta fast right? I know I am not breaking any records but I am super stoked.
This week's goals are:
1) Finish all workouts as written by the coach including the tempo run of 3 miles at a sub-8 pace (I think I may stop telling my coach my PRs) and my 2 rides
2) Keep a positive mental attitude on the long run on Sunday (30+ miles on the trail)
3) Get diet back on track after eating out almost every meal last week
So how is your training?
