7 Week Plan to Boston
Now that I am feeling near 100% with my shin, it is time for me to set my long run goals leading up to Boston. This is quite an aggressive plan considering I’ve been off for about 3 weeks but I think it is realistic based on my past training. Of course this is not written in stone and is subject to change, but I wanted to record this to motivate me to get my long runs in over the next 7 weeks. I’m starting to get a little nervous already…I can’t believe how close it is already…April 21st will be here before I know it.
week 1 - 3/3 - 20 miler
Week 2 - 3/10 - 22 miler
week 3 - 3/17 - 16 miler
week 4 - 3/24 - 24 miler
week 5 -3/31 - 18 miler
week 6 - 4/7 - 16 miler
week 7 - 4/14 - 10-12 miler
Rest Day
Busy day. I could have gotten a run in if I really wanted to. But I decided since I was pretty busy today and it was at the end of a pretty bad month I might as well take a day off and get ready for a very good March. Hopefully tomorrow the roads are clear and my shin feels great and I can start a new month off with a good 10 miler. My shin felt nearly perfect today. Not very much discomfort at all today. I’m not sure how it will feel tomorrow when I start running without having ultra-sound on it first.
31:00 + 21:00
7 miles broken up in two runs @ practice. felt good, but just couldn’t get myself to run more.
treadmill run
Did not feel like running, but did get a couple in. My legs have felt awful the past 3 days.
