Hey guys, I’m back! Sorry for not checking in last
week, I’ve been super busy with studying for finals lately. Luckily I only have one more final which is
tomorrow in Anatomy, after that I will be officially done with my junior year
of high school!
It’s crazy
to think that Grandma’s Marathon is in 13 days now! I’m on my final countdown, only 1 more full
hard workout left in this awesome training cycle.
May
26th – June 1st
Wednesday:
2 mile warm up, 4 x mile w/ 2:30 recovery, 2 mile cool down- started off pretty
good but ended up having tightness in my right hip from the turns on the track. Tried switching directions to help the
tightness but it didn’t help so I had to cut my repeats down to 4. I guess my legs have decided I belong on the
road not the track lol :)
Saturday:
24 mile easy paced long run- felt really good on my run but had to deal with
unexpected rain most of the way which made the trail very slippery over the
board walk sections. Still was a good
run even if my dad and I got a little muddy ;)

June
2nd – 8th
Monday:
2 mile warm up, 16 x 600m w/ 1:30 jog recovery, 2 mile cool down- did my 600s
on the road and felt really strong.
Thursday:
2 mile warm up, 6 mile tempo, 3 mile cool down- was warmer and more humid than
normal but still had a good tempo. Makes
me look forward to the cooler temps of Duluth I get to race in.
Sunday:
5 mile warm up, 10 mile tempo, 3.5 mile cool down- great last long run before
the marathon. Was a rough workout having
to deal with stomach issues and cramps but I toughed it out and had a really
good negative split run in the end! Sometimes being a female runner can suck though lol :P
16 x 600m on the road
Hot 6 mile tempo
FUN
FACT: in the last 8 weeks since my half marathon I have run 888 miles!! I feel
so strong and ready for this marathon! Bring it on!!!!
Looks like you've had some really solid training! 16 x 600's is no joke!
