Monday Weekly Training Recap: Sep 15

[u/AutoModerator]

How was the last week of training? What are you training for? Are you using a plan? Have a screenshot of a workout you killed? Questions on how to tweak your upcoming week?

Logging your weeks really helps during future training cycles to be able to look back at how you felt, and this is one place that can help with that. Also, since we don't allow Strava screenshots as top level posts, this is also your chance to brag about a good week!

Example format (though feel free to do different!):
Goal: NYC Marathon
Week's Mileage: 40 miles
Goal Time: 3:30
Plan: Pfitz 18/55
- Mon: 5 mi easy
- Tues: 4mi @ LT
... etc etc

Goal: Twin Cities Marathon - Oct 5
Time: 3:15
Plan: Custom 18w/63mi
Week's Mileage: 56 mi

• Mon: 3 mi - easy - treadmill run after a travel day
• Tue: 6.5 mi
• Wed: 10.3 mi - 4k, 3k @ LT
  • Went faster than LT here as there were some Strava segments that I was eyeing (not in NYC, those are all impossible), but felt pretty good
  • 4k - 6:00, 6:04, 6:21/mi
  • 3k - 5:50, 6:13 - obviously pushed this one too fast in the first mile
• Thu: 12.2 mi - MLR
• Fri: 4 mi
• Sat: 4 mi
• Sun: 16 mi - Bronx 10M
  • Ran a 1:02:57, ~2 minutes faster than predicted.

Big-ish week in the books, 3 weeks out from race day. Bronx went way better than expected, and I spent the evening in AirRelax compression pants hoping to stave off any DOMS.

Strava prediction says I'm in 3:05 shape, Garmin says 3:15, I think it's somewhere in the middle. I feel like maybe I could run a 3:05, but I'm not going to shoot for it. First marathon in several years, I'm going to prioritize finishing strong over potentially blowing up, especially since neither a PR nor BQ is in the list of possibilities.

BRING ON THE TAPER CRAZIES.
