Here's my training plan for the week and a recap of last week's running.
Last week and this week are pretty much taper weeks!
This past week, I got in 3 runs and 1 cross training day.
Monday & Wednesday were rest days, and Sunday was an active rest day because I did a lot of walking! I was suppose to go to the gym Wednesday morning but somehow I didn't quite make it.
Tuesday I was suppose to do 4 miles but my hip was bothering me so I only did 3. Can't risk getting injured at this point in the game!
Thursday I did 4 miles instead of the scheduled 3 so I basically switched Thursday's run with Tuesday's!
Friday I cross trained. I did my first Nike Training Club workout and it was intense but I loved it! Looking forward to doing another one this morning!
Saturday was a "long" taper run of 5 miles. I got caught in a little drizzle but I pushed through. I don't mind a little bit of drizzle but if it had down poured like it did once I got home I would have stopped and called the boyfriend lol! Can't risk getting sick either!
Sunday was suppose to be 2.5 easy miles but the time change through me off. You'd think with the extra hour I would have made sure to workout but yesterday morning was focused on getting homework out the way and cleaning up so that this coming week my focus can be on mentally preparing for my half. Then Jay and I went out to this event called Fiesta In The Park at a local park where I walked about a mile or two exploring all the different venders. Then we went to the outlets and the mall and that was probably about another mile of walking. So at least I was active!
Now for this week. The week I've been waiting for! Here's my planned training schedule.
Monday: 30 minutes cross train (Nike Training Club App)
Tuesday: 2 mile run
Wednesday: 30 minutes of cross train + 20 minute run
Thursday: REST
Friday: 20 minute run
Saturday: REST (active - walking around the Expo of course!)
Sunday: RACE DAY!!
I'm going to do beginner cross train workouts on the NTC app because I don't want to get too sore. But I'm sure if my last cross train is on Wednesday, by Sunday my muscles will have recovered!
How is your training the week of a big run??
Do you go hard, do you taper, etc?
