AtomThis week was a great week and start to my marathon training. The weather has been great which I think is a huge contributing factor. All I need now is for the next 17 weeks to be like the last 2 weeks!
I think I finally have my diet under control…at least for 5 consecutive days so far. In the recent months, whenever I tried to control my diet, I would only last 2 days. What I started to do was to track everything that went into my mouth. In the past, I would track the major meals, but end up eating a lot of smaller snacks that I never bothered to track.
From now on, I will try and summarize my week’s training in a table as follows:
| Day | Plan | Actual | Avg Pace | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sun | 6 Mi | 9:46 | The plan actually starts on a Monday so today was a rest day. | |
| Mon | 7 Mi w/ 10×160m | 9:26 | The weather was great so I decided to do Tuesday’s run today instead. It was 55F when I ran | |
| Tue | 7 Mi w/ 10×100m | 3 Mi | 9:43 | Recovery run instead of a rest day |
| Wed | 9 Mi | 9:54 | Did Thursday’s 9-miler today. Felt great for the first 7.5 miles. Took 3 short walking breaks in the last 1.5 miles | |
| Thu | 9 Mi | Rested today after 7 consecutive days of running. | ||
| Fri | 5 Mi | 9:33 | ||
| Sat | 4 Mi | 2 Mi | 9:55 | Recovery run. No real running benefit. I justwanted to burn a few calories to help with my weight loss |
| Total | 20 Mi | 32 Mi |
