Week In Review – Week 2 – 50K Training

Posted on December 10, 2012 by runinboise

This week, thankfully, was an easy step back week.

After doing the 16 miler on Sunday in my black Brooks PureCadence that I wore most of this year, my right knee and heel were very unhappy most of this week. Time to switch out those shoes for my blue pair, and I NEED to invest into the pink Brooks PureCadence’s.

Monday: Rest
Tuesday: 4 miles scheduled, 4 miles completed

Post-run

I made sure to look as super sexay as I ran around my neighborhood. 

Wednesday: 4 miles scheduled, 4 miles completed

So proud of my mile times.

 I actually negative splitted. I am proud.  My legs were not quite awake but I am not complaining.

Thursday: 4 miles scheduled, 4 miles completed

Went to the clubhouse treddy & this is where my knee & heel was bothering me. I had to ice a couple of times afterwards before work.

Friday: Rest

So thankful for a rest day. So thankful and I will be getting more appreciative of these days in my heavier weeks. I actually went shopping. Braved the mall for a new bra (went down a cup size & needed a newer, although sadly smaller one. I am also searching for a new bed pillow. My regular pillow needs to be replaced, but where I got it at originally, isn’t selling the type anymore. Buying a new pillow is one of the worst thing in the world.

Saturday: 6 miles scheduled, 6 miles completed

 So happy with my mile times. I really pushed on that last mile!

Snow is finally here

It was a cold hour out on the greenbelt. But my knee and heel didn’t bother me. It was really hard to go and run (average 10:32 pace!) because it was so cold. But I did warm up and was quite sweaty after. I did make one of these after. Wow. I really recommend having one. Or 2.

Pre-run freezing

Sunday: 4 miles scheduled, 4 miles completed

I decided to do intervals today. Each mile went from 3.0-7.0.
0.0-.05 mile: 3.5
.05-.10 mile: 3.0 (drink water)
.10-.8 mile: 5.5
.8-.85 mile: 6.0
.85-.9 mile: 6.5
.9-1 mile: 7.0
I did that for 4 miles.

Then I went on the eliptical for an hour because 4 miles didn’t seem like enough of a workout. 😉

I won’t be saying that next weekend because I have a 20 miler scheduled!
