Results of Week 3 – Training for Half-marathon

Hey MBB readers,

I can’t believe that week four is right around the corner. Seriously. I can’t get over it. I can’t believe I’m training for a half-marathon. A non-runner has been running for three whole weeks. I’m high-fiving myself as you read this…

Today’s plan was W 2 miles. Easy enough but what was challenging was not gearing my legs up to run. I had to walk to recover. I just wanted to go, go, go, so I grabbed my magazine to review and kept it slow.

I have to admit, I even added a 1.0 incline to my step. You don’t have to look impressed, I’m doing it for you…

Let’s look at this weeks results shall we???

Week 3 Results

	REQUIRED	ACCOMPLISHED
Day 1	Rest	Accomplished
Day 2 Run/Walk	3 miles +ST	3.1 (5k no ST)
Day 3	XT 30 minutes	30 minutes, kickboxing
Day 4 Run/Walk	2 miles	1 mile with hillS
Day 5	Rest	Accomplished
Day 6 Run/Walk	3 miles	3 miles
Day 7 Walk	2 miles	2 miles

TOTAL REQUIRED: 8 miles running, 2 miles walking, 30 minute XT, 20 minute ST

TOTAL ACCOMPLISHED: 7 miles running, 2 miles walking, 30 minute XT

Mental note: Even though I only ran 1 mile in hillS, it was a really good beginning challenge for me.

Next week looks like a fun week. I get to try four miles…which I have never done before. I’m really looking forward to it! Here’s to #restdaymonday

For those who are following me and want to keep up, I’m posting week four on Tuesday but if you want a head start it’s ER (easy run) 2 miles + ST.
