AtomI completed the first week of my marathon training this week. Pftizinger’s plan actually starts on a Mon and ends on a Sunday, but I log my weeks with Sunday being the first day. As a result, this week ended up being just 20 miles of running.
Since the plan starts off pretty easy, I actually feel well rested. The toughest part of the week was holding back and not going for a run on the rest days. I was tempted on both Wednesday and Friday. Unfortunately, I couldn’t resist running an extra mile today so I can end the week at 20 miles instead of the not-so-round 19 miles.
I’m currently alternating 2 pairs of shoes, but the older one has 327 miles on them so far. I only use them for the shorter runs, but I think I may need to change them. I’ve been having a very slight knee pain, but I’m not quite sure if it’s because of the shoes. I will need to try and monitor it more closely over then several runs.
