Erik
Did a whole mess of planks, sprinting, burpees, and trx. Darn near wiped me out but the old legs still held up after my run this morn.
- Miles:
- 1071 total / 499 in 2012
- Goal:
Finish out a local half-marathon and then the full NJ Marathon. And hopefully one more marathon by the end of the year!

Pushed it in the first mile to see where the legs were and felt good. Eased into a nice pace and kept it up. Worst part was the mugginess this morning.

good Nice and Easy 5.06 mi 00:49 09:45 pace
Didn't really bother to look at the Garmin until the end. Easy pace but still debating on when I should start training for the Philly Marathon. I'm inclined to give it a few weeks and work on speed... read more

Ya, it's a bit early yet. Do an easy week this week and your normal week next and you should be recovered from NJ enough to start training for Phili. if you don't already do them, I'd suggest Yasso 800s for your speed work once a month. Good rule of thumb for traing is 60% base miles, 15% LSD( long slow distance), 15% hills and 10% speed work. Speed work is great but your most likely to get injured doing it. Safe training!

Philly seems a ways off but November will be here before I know it. Thanks all for the advice!

Just some lifting to get the body back in gear. My legs feel relatively good but don't even want to start pushing it without giving a few more days to recover.

You're close but give it just a little more time. Good use of your time with the weights!

I'd say I've got the running bug. My legs and feet are on fire and I'm already thinking on how to inrove my time and my next race. Go figure.

great NJ Marathon 26.42 mi 04:58 11:17 pace

I'll be in NJ with ya! A word of advice. Since marathoning is a lot more mental than people realize don't try to run the full 26.2 at once. Instead, run to mile 6. When you get there run to mile 10. Then run to the half, then to mile 20, then mile 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and then to the finish! If you chop the distance into shorter ones you can short circuit your brain from giving you lots of negative thoughts. A positive mental attitude will serve you well! Now go get'em!
