Weekly Mileage Recap 3/11/2018

This was my first week training with my Hanson's Marathon Method Plan and here's how it went. 

Monday
Speed Intervals 7 Miles total
Warm up/cool down with 400M workouts for a total of 7 miles. 

I calculated my pace for speed work and turns out I was going too fast before. This speed work was not as devastating to my body but made up for it with mileage. 

Tuesday 
6 mile Easy Run
No surprise here that my easy run pace was also too fast. It was nice to be able to run at a comfortable pace. 

Wednesday 
7 Mile Tempo Work

Thursday
Easy 6 with strides at the end. 
I like the idea of incorporating some short, fast speed work in the end of a longer run. 

Friday 
12 Mile Run
Confession: The furthest I've ever run before is only 7 miles. This 12 miler actually felt good and it was at a nice, comfortable pace as well. This became one of my favorite workouts of the week. 

Saturday
5k Run
This was not recommended I know, but I am still glad I did it. 

This was a very successful week of training. I tweaked the days for next week and am anxious to see how this will look moving forward. 

Total miles for week:
41
