Have you ever created and questioned your own training plan? What do you think of this one?

Training Plan - any input?
So, I put together my training plan through the beginning of June (when the last half I'm registered for is), and being a rookie I'd love for someone else to take a look at it as well. Now I know things won't go exactly as planned, and I'm completely ok with that. I even messed up yesterday's 10 already by doing 5, when it was originally planned for Saturday. But it's cold out and I wanted to wait until the school gym opened up to use the treadmill, and then I forgot how awful the treadmill was. I need to learn to suck it up in the cold!
At any rate, here it is, and I'd love any thoughts!

Are you planning on running the entire half (and other ones in between?) If so, I might add in long runs each week, unless that's what the bridge stands for? I love that you have yoga added in...I need to do more yoga and take care of these lil legs/tight hips.
ReplyDeleteI probably should have explained myself, I forgot I had that in there! The running group I'm with (Savannah Striders - that's why some have the "w SS" in there) runs the Talmadge Bridge every Sunday, 4, 6, or 8 miles.
DeleteI have a few halfs throughout there. The ones highlighted in red are races. I have non-race Saturdays as long runs, but do you think they need to be longer? That was one of the things I was worried about.
And I love my yoga! It's so hard but I feel so amazing after it!
I get it :) I think it looks good :) You don't wanna do too much, and if you're running 4 days a week, I think that's great! I think I only ran 3 days a week last year when I was training for the Princess Half, then when training for ToT I ran 4-5 days a week and I'm sticking with 5 days a week for the Princess Half this year :)
DeleteYay! I'm glad someone else thinks it works haha. I'm working on 3-4 days a week, I think if I do more I'll get even more burnt out. So for now, I think I'll keep it at a max of 4, but definitely bring it up to 5 when I have the fitness to.
DeleteI like it! I think the added yoga will help, too! I've created plans before and yes, I always second guess myself! :0)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Thanks Karen, the reassurance is wonderful =)
DeleteThat is great that you put together this plan. I have kind of been doing my own thing up to this point but I should really get my but in gear and make a plan for some of my upcoming races!
ReplyDeleteI know I won't do anything if I don't plan, so I have to! Otherwise I'll be like "3 miles a week...of course it's enough!"
