Here's what I've completed so far:
The race I signed up for is on a Sunday. I'm trying to keep my long runs on that day so my body is ready for that. There have been weeks I had to change up my running days, but for the most part, I'm sticking to running on Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday.
I have signed up for an Ugly Sweater Run this Saturday. It supports a good cause and seems like a lot of fun. Although I am training for a somewhat serious race, I don't want to give up the fun races. I would also like to attempt this challenge from Runner's World:
I was debating that challenge. On one hand, it'll definitely get me into running. On the other, it may burn me out.
ReplyDeleteAs for the 5k - I think you can throw that into the middle of your training plan, it can't hurt since it's about what you're doing already, just maybe at a faster pace. I could be wrong tho?
Keep up the great work!
I've done a run streak (pre-injury) before and by the end of it, I was ready for a day off. Since you are training for the half, I would think you'd get either burned out or set yourself up injury. I would concentrate on one goal before adding the second. But that is just my $0.02.
ReplyDeleteNot that I'm an expert, but I think adding a one-mile run on your off days won't hurt you at all. They should be super quick for you. That sounds like a great idea though-- I can definitely do a mile a day! Maybe that will help get me into running! :)
