I couldn’t help myself. I ran on a rest day. But I have a good excuse, really I do! I have to split up my 2 mile walk + ST and rest day. So tomorrow morning, I’m ST available. My schedule just doesn’t permit both together. Please know, it wasn’t me that wanted to run…
Welcome to Week FOUR from Women’s Magazine for their “Couch to Half Marathon, 14-week plan.”
But first, we interrupt our daily program for an update…
Did you check out my progress for week 3? Way to tackle some hillS. (capital S folks, capital S…they weren’t babies. This girl walked the program!)
Okay…I did say four weeks as in my first whole month training. Whooo weee! Let’s get it started on this weeks training schedule!
MONDAY: Rest day
TUESDAY: ER 2 miles + ST
WEDNESDAY: XT 30 min
THURSDAY: ER 3 miles
FRIDAY: Rest
SATURDAY: ER 4 miles
SUNDAY: W 3 miles
Lingo:
Easy Runs (ER): Perform these runs at a comfortable, conversational pace. If you find yourself huffing and puffing, slow down.
Cross Training (XT): Incorporate one or two days of non-impact cross-training, such as cycling, elliptical, swimming and yoga into your routine to build your fitness and prevent injury
Strength Training (ST): Perform 20 minutes of lower body and core exercises
Let’s rock this week!
