Chicago Marathon 2007 Training: Week 10

Last week was a bit of a slacker week for me. I was in S. FL on business.  I managed to do the two longer runs on Tuesday and Thursday of 8 and 9 miles respectively, but I slacked off on the Wednesday and skipped the recovery 5 miler.

Also, my flight back to TX on Friday got delayed and diverted to Houston and by the time I made it back to Dallas, it was close to midnight.  I decided to skip Saturday’s recovery run also.

Other than that, the week had started with an 18-miler on the Sunday and it went quite well.  I could tell that my body was able to handle it much better than the first 18-miler I ran the previous Sunday.

    Congratulations on your success! Sounds like you’re well on your way to achieving more goals. I’ve run Chicago many times and it’s an amazing experience. I’ve run Boston and NYC too, and Chicago is tops. Be careful about overtraining.

    Stop by our blog site sometime. Wish you the best with your training.

    Don’t listen to Tom (haha)….there is no such thing as over training. In fact, if you can’t do a really long run, break out in two days–I did 17 yesterday and 17 today. So–I have plenty of endurance, just need to work on speed! Seriously, I ran my best Chicago Marathon (3:29) breaking long runs between a two day period. Good luck!!! I too hope to “re-qualify” this year.
