My half marathon is over, and I can’t believe how fast the time flew in training, and how wonderful race day was!
Well, this is my last training recap post for… awhile… until I start training again, which won’t be for a few months. This training cycle has been all sorts of disappointing, but I’ve accepted that I did what I could with what I was given. By now most of you should know how my race went (If you don’t, stop reading this and head over to read my race recap of the Indy Monumental Half Marathon). The day feels like a dream! Here’s what my final week of training, taper week, looked like:
- Friday (10/24): 2 mile run, 0.5 mile walk
- Saturday: REST (attending conference all day)
- Sunday: 8.4 mile bike (at normal pace), 0.65 mile walk
- Monday: 25 minutes barre (while teaching), 0.85 mile walk (cool down after class)
- Tuesday: 4o minutes mat pilates, 0.6 mile walk
- Wednesday: 1.2 mi run
- Thursday: REST
- Friday: walking around expo/standing for a few hours at the Team in Training table
- Saturday: 13.1 half marathon!
The training cycle wasn’t all that I wanted it to be at the end, but I had a solid summer of training, and a great first half of my training cycle, and I think that’s what allowed me to have the race that I had.
Thanks for following along with my training this cycle! I think 2014 was a year of building a much stronger foundation, so I’m excited to see where things go from here!
Girl! Just keep running. You’re doing amazing 🙂
Thanks so much!
