Good morning friends! I love sharing what I have on my training plan with you, because it helps keep me accountable and motivated. It also challenges me to follow the training plan I have set for myself.
Currently, my plan is to continue training on tired legs… and challenging myself to move faster, lift stronger, and keep moving forward when I think I can’t. It is my hope that this plan will help me overcome the physical and mental challenges that I will face come Ragnar next weekend.
Adventure awaits my friends… I love this! Everything I have heard, read and SEE about Ragnar is a complete adventure! I am so excited to embark upon this new adventure!
Here is my training from LAST WEEK:
Monday: 3.5 mile run
Tuesday: 2 mile walk
Wednesday: 3.5 mile run; strength; 3.5 mile run
Thursday: 1 mile walk; strength; 3.5 mile run
Friday: 5.75 treadmill run + handstand fun
Saturday: interval hill workout 4.5 miles
I am finding that I am feeling strong. I am hoping that it will be enough to endure the challenges I will face come Ragnar. I do not want to let my van mates and team mates down. I do not want to run injured. I want to be strong.
Here is what I have on tap for my training THIS WEEK:
Monday: Strength Session + Quick and easy 5K on treadmill
Tuesday: Tempo Run – 5 miles
Wednesday: Strength Session + Quick and Easy 5K on treadmill
Thursday: Hill workout AM and 5K PM run
Friday: AM 5K run + handstand fun
Saturday: 10 easy miles
After this week, will begin my taper before the weekend running race. I will continue pushing myself… but I am going to give my legs a bit of a rest. I am so excited to share my running adventure with you!
Quick Side Note: I have NOT lost any weight from my training. Heck, I haven’t lost any weight since the beginning of February (when I was competing in the Shrinking Jeans Weight Loss Challenge with WorkoutMommy). However, I am finding my clothes to be loser. I am lifting heavier. I am running faster.
I am choosing to celebrate the Non-Scale Victories in my life. Yes, the number on the scale will always be an issue. But I am choosing (today) to focus on the results of my hard work… no matter what that number says.
What is on your training plan for this week? What is your next fitness challenge or goal? What is one of your non-scale victories?
Great training, great plan and what a timely reminder! I need to follow your lead on the strength workouts and the non-scale victories. I can’t wait for next week!!
Great workouts! As long as I do something everyday I’m happy!
Wow, you seem to be doing really well with all the exercising! I need to get myself exercising!
Stopping over the UBP!
My next fitness challenge is to complete this round of Insanity with my husband!
