Training Program(s):
- Still using a plan I made using a combination of the Runner’s World Smart Coach app with pace adjustments using the McMillan Running Calculator: Weekly mileage: 26-30 miles a week – Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. Weekday sessions ranged in distance from 5 to 8 miles, with the weekend session being the “long run” day at 10 to 14 miles. The plan integrates Easy Runs, Tempo Runs, Speed Runs, and hill workouts.
- I added a cycling session on Mondays this month to mix things up. It definitely works slightly different muscles…I did feel it.
