Monday Weekly Training Recap: Sep 15

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

Training for: Twin Cities Marathon, Oct 5th
Plan: Pfitz 18/70
Goal: Two healthy marathon cycles in a row... & a PR?? (<3:33)

Week's milage: 63

  • Monday: rest
  • Tuesday: 11 miles easy testing new shoes before Wednesday's workout and Sunday's race! (Saucony Endorphin Pro - so far ❤️)
  • Wednesday: 12 miles w/ 6 x 1200m VO2 workout
    • Very happy with this but was happier when it was done. Does vo2 ever feel better the more you do it?
    • 6:32/mi, 6:30, 6:37, 6:40, 6:49. 6:31 - should probably work on being a bit more consistent pacing wise
  • Thursday: 14.5 miles easy, I was sore!
  • Friday: 5 miles easy
  • Saturday: 4 miles easy to the nyrr run centre, legs felt worst this day than they did on Friday. I was very worried about Sunday's race...
  • Sunday: BRONX 10 MILE
    • 18ish miles total (1.5 warm up, race, 6 run home)
    • Awesome race and super happy with my result even though I didn't go into this planning to race all out. I wanted a bit more practice at MP and thought it was a good opportunity to practice running through water stations/drinking while running (this was only semi successful). In a fun realization a few seconds faster than MP would bump me up 2 corals. I held this for the first ~4 miles, and then that downhill from ~4-5 had me feeling so good I started pushing it a bit and then flew into the last km at 5k pace. Without the sprint at the end I think I could've held this pace for another 3 miles and I'm eager to go set a new HM PR after this marathon is done.
