Re: Sarahs Going For the GUSTO (marathon Training)

I did FAB today did MY long run and I conqued a HUGE milestone I ran
16 miles YAY for me. I DID IT. Took me 2:55:42 which I figure is pretty respectable. I ran for 1 hour at an incline of 1 I need to build my legs up to the demand of running outside adding the incline I'm sure will help. It was burning real heavily on my legs but, I made it through put it level for the last 5 k and went a little faster then my pace for the first part of the run.

I'm SO PROUD OF ME!!!

Re: Sarahs Going For the GUSTO (marathon Training)

K yesterday I took the whole day off I was extremely lazy my legs were extremely sore from my run so I had the massager on and massaged the muscles which really helped.

Today was running day I am very tired today didn't get to sleep till 3am due to sick kids and was up at 6:30 with my littlest he had a horrible fever. I gave him tylenol and he fell back asleep at 8 and we slep till 9:30 so I got a small rest. I would have strted running on nornal days by 9:30 but didn't get a start till 11. I got it done though I felt good through the whole thing time went by really fast and I was able to crank the speed the last 5 minutes to 7mph which Rock. So 90 minutes running and 10 minutes walking. I am gunna have to start doing speedwork. When I don't know LOL

Re: Sarahs Going For the GUSTO (marathon Training)

I ran 6 today am still very tired really pushed it today and ran my first 8 minute mile I was really pushing and was running really fast YAY. ME. SO I am gunna drop my milage a bit, I am getting somewhat burnt out. I think I will go for 38-40 miles per week and stay at that cutting down my other runs during the week so that I am not so burnt. I also think I need to up my supplimentation of Potassium which I am starting today see if that helps as well.

Tomorrow is a rest day I will do full body weight training instead of running.

What made you decide to do this? Did I miss that somewhere in my reading???
