I had a nice speed workout today - One where when you get done you know that you did it right. 12 miles total with 6x1 with 1/2 mile recovery - not a killer workout - just some good LAT running and if you do it right you still feel strong at the end. Each rep and at the end I felt like I could have continued much longer. Nice thing it was 8 seconds per rep faster than last time.<br><br>
Good running to all -

Nice running Flounder. I also had a decent workout this morning which consisted of 12 miles total with 2 x 2 Miles at threshold pace. Threshold miles were 6:51, 6:38, 6:36 and 6:28. It was a beautiful morning here in Missouri with the sun shining and the thermometer showing 48?F.<br><br>
I'm less than two weeks away from my marathon. Flounder, I will once again implement the carb deplete phase just as you coached me last time. I think it helped considerably.<br><br>
Keep them fun!

Lofcaudio - What marathon - Run strong !<br><br>
I think the most overlooked part of the "Loading" Stage is to get enough H20 - or any good liquid. Your body needs a ton of fluid to store all that glygogen - If any place I have failed it is here.<br><br>
I still have a hair under 11 weeks to train -

I'm needing to shave off at least 27 seconds off of my last marathon time. I did not hit the wall last time and I credit that to the deplete/load strategy of the week before.<br><br>
As for drinking water, I have no problem with that. I sometimes worry that I drink too much.

8.5 miles @ lunch @ a very easy 8:18 pace. Felt great during the run and feel fantastic now!<br><br>
Everyone have a great day! <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

4.5 recovery @ Lunch 48F and windy - But the sunshine was nice - Left watch at home and just ran real slow.

Lofcaudio - Looks like a good mid-sized marathon<br><br>
I see 9 people last year @ 3:14:XX - 1:37<img alt="mad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/mad.gif">x + 1:37<img alt="mad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/mad.gif">x looks like a good pace for someone looking for 3:15<br><br>
Make sure you start in the 1st 100 people - Thats usually the elite group then 8-10 back from the second group. Get clean air early, but don't run the 1st mile too fast in that clean air.

 

[Lofcaudio]

This will be my first "smallish" marathon as my two previous were megathons (Chicago and Marine Corps).<br><br>
I was able to get into the "Competitive Start" (which is a laugh!) based upon my previous marathon time. So I'll be up at the front at the start, at least.<br><br>
Keep the advice coming...I'm going to need it.

rest day for me

S-T-R-E-T-C-H / Abs / followed by a 10 mile run for me today!

 

[sistergoldenhair]

I did an hour on the stationary bike including 3:00 interval sets at 95% effort -- all I can say is 95% effort feels so much harder on the bike than on the track. It was an excellent workout.<br><br>
I also taught yoga this morning.

You may be trying to come back too fast. Should you really be doing such a strenuous workout during the first week?

7 miles: 1:04.02. Finally 4 weeks later I can breath again. I think I kicked the virus out.
