It’s been a hot minute since I’ve updated my training status.. and that’s since April…
Since then, a lot has happened, life took over and I didn’t have the energy to post my progress. So in this post, I’ll be posting my milages from the last 5 months together!
During September, I’ve also started to train for the 1/2 marathon + marathon combo. My long runs used to be singular days, but I’ve started integrating a shorter run the day before the long run day (marathon distance) and slowly ramping that run up to build up my endurance to eventually 13+ miles on the “short” day before the longer run.
My strategy at the moment is that (excuse the slow runner heh), I run a 5K at 8:30-9:00 min/mile pace. 10K at 9:30min/mile pace. 1/2 marathon “short” run at 10:15 min/mile, and finally marathon pace at 10:30 – 10:40 min/mile. It has worked so far ramping up. the 2 longer distance, and I intend to continue doing this.
So, update for the months that I’ve misseed.
April
May
June
July
August
September (Ramp up distances since middle of September)
October (up until Oct 12)
At this point, with 3 months left, I’m mostly training for finish and not a specific finishing time. Stay tuned for the weekly updates!
