As a way to stay accountable I've decided to join others in sharing my weekly training. I hope that by sharing this info publicly it will help me to stay motivated and, just maybe, there may be an occasional tid-bit of info that someone else may benefit from.
At this point I really feel like I'm starting over in many ways. I'm twenty pounds heavier than a year ago and my fitness is no where near what it once was. With this in mind my main goal right now is consistency, consistency, consistency.
This week I ran three times:
Tuesday, 2/21/12
Distance: 10 miles
Time: 1:22:32
Pace: 8:15/mi.
This run was a good motivator and confidence booster. Felt pretty good during the run and legs weren;t too sore the next day.
Friday, 2/24/12
Distance: 7.5 miles
Time: 1:01:07
Pace: 8:09/mi.
Felt good again during this run. Followed this run up with some chest and ab work.
Saturday, 2/25/12
Distance: 5.5 miles
Time: 45:56
Pace: 8:21/mi.
Nice easy run to finish this week.
Total Miles: 23 miles
All of my running so far this year has been on a treadmill so far. I'll be on a treadmill at my local gym until mid-April when my membership runs out. As the weather turns spring-like I'll also start getting outside more often. But, like I said above, my goal right now is consistency. I want to get out four times this coming week and hit 25 miles. I'm going to spend the spring months building back up a base then in late spring begin to ramp up the training for the PA Super Hike and Ultra.
I am totally agree with you. Treadmill is better than other fitness equipment and it's is easily use in home.
ReplyDeleteJohn,
ReplyDeleteI used to run outside all winter long. But winters where I live continue to get to me more and more. The treadmill is a big help during these cold, snowy and icy months. That being said, I do love running outside though. Thanks for commenting.
