Breathe! Breathe!

Five weeks left to the L.A. Marathon! The butterflies are starting to appear....

Last week - 41 miles running, 9.5 miles rowing for a total of 50.5 miles. Oh - I seemed to miss a post about Sunday's 16 miler in the warmth of Southern California. Nothing particularly noteworthy about it - just an 8 mile out and back done at midday.

This week's plan:
  • Monday: Row 5km. Stretch and core workout
  • Tuesday: 10 mile tempo
  • Wednesday: Row 10 km
  • Thursday: 6 mile general aerobic. Stretch and core workout
  • Friday: Rest
  • Saturday: 20 mile long run
  • Sunday: 6 mile pace
  • Total plan: 51 miles

Then there will be 4. Weeks. Until slow death. On the streets of Los Angeles....

  3. Looks as if you have done the hard work in your training and your race will be the easy part.

    Mind you I always have nerves before a race.

  6. 5 weeks!?! Just around the corner. If you are like me you can't wait for it to come but when it is here you want more training time. Use these weeks for some good training!
