Today marks nine days until my first half marathon of the year. I’ve been using the coaching feature app on the Nike running to train for this run. My goal is to finish the race in ninety minutes.
I thought it would have been possible since my last half-marathon I finished in one hour and forty-four minutes. I’m pretty excited about soaking up the sun in Miami and becoming Miami Famous.
Currently, I’m winding up my ‘taper week.’
Running schedule:
- Five miles on Monday,
- Ten on Tuesday (hated that),
- Five on Wednesday,
- Rest day on Thursday,
- Four miles Friday,
- Ten miles Saturday,
- Rest day on Sunday.
After that, I have one last week of training, and I get to run for real.
To help me train this last month of running, I enlisted the help of the iamhealthyfit running community. I set up a running challenge on Nike Plus to run one hundred miles, and I was ecstatic at the turnout and enthusiasm that the participants showed. The competitive juices have been flowing all month!!
The grand prize will be a pair of Nike (my favorite brand) sneakers, and all finishers of the one hundred miles will receive a fitness bundle.
Today I signed up for the Portland Shamrock Run on March 13th, and I’ll be signing up Foot Traffic Flat Half Marathon on July 4th. I still want to sign up for two races in the fall and some 5 and 10Ks scattered, but I’m happy with my 2016 run schedule.
Those are my running updates. Are you part of the iamhealthyfit challenge? How is running going for you?
