So today I mapped out my training plan, I have to keep myself occupied somehow. I am done with 3 weeks of Ease Into 10K. Continuing on this path I will be done with the 10k training by June 5! I planned out my ½ marathon training strategy too. I am going to do two rounds of the Hal Higdon half marathon trainer, one at novice level and one at intermediate level. The novice is mostly just for conditioning yourself to run 13.1, the intermediate one works in some speed work and tempo runs. I am hoping that by then I will actually know what those things mean and that they will help improve my speed.
It must be fate because as I was looking at my training plan and comparing it to the races that I picked out of thin air my training aligned and I will be right on track to complete those races. The week I am supposed to run a 10 miler… there is a 10 miler sponsored by an Ale House (running followed by beer, what is better than that). Then during my second round of half training there is a 10K the week I am supposed to run a 10K. Something is at work here, the running gods are aligning to encourage my progress.
I will finish my second round of training 3 weeks before my inaugural 13.1 mile run. So to space it right I am going to do repeats of week 10 and 11. Week 12 ends with the HALF MARATHON!!! And if I fall off the wagon a little…I have a bit of time in there for cushion.
