It’s always interesting to compare equivalent training weeks, and it’s been fun to compare training for the Indianapolis Mini Marathon this year and last year. Last year I stated that this week was my lowest mileage yet. Between a memorial service, long work hours, and a speaking trip, I was pretty busy. This week has been a great work out week though! Here’s how it looked:
- Sunday: 1 hour pilates, 2.25 mile walk
- Monday: Best Body Boot Camp Workout A
- Tuesday: 4.45 mile walk
- Wednesday: REST
- Thursday: 7.55 mile bike ride
- Friday: Best Body Boot camp Workout C
- Saturday: 3.1 mile run (at goal pace)
This week was a great mix of pilates, strength training, running, biking, and walking. Sounds great to me! I enjoy keeping variation in my schedule, and it keeps me from getting bored. After last week’s it band flair up, I decided to do a shorter run this week but run at a faster pace to push myself. It was a great run!
I’m continuing to wear my orthotics while I walk, and I think my feet have adjusted really well. I don’t know how I’ll enjoy running in them, but they’ve given me know trouble at all while walking!
Now it’s your turn to share! How do you add variation to either your workouts or to life?
Nice work Caroline and don’t worry I’m sure you’ll get used to running in your orthotics. I got some as I had achilles problems that would not go away and now I am pain free, they were so worth it! I don’t even notice them while I run anymore. – Simone
Thanks for sharing that, and I’m so glad that you’ve had positive results with your orthotics! That definitely gives me hope for when I start running with mine.
Great job with the workouts! I’m leaving in an hour or so to tackle this week’s long run. Depending on how it goes, this might be the last long run of my training, and then I’m going to begin tapering!
I hope your run is great! I’ll be mentally cheering for you as you run:) I can’t believe we’re already close to taper time!
Thank you!
Glad to hear your orthotics and that they are helping. Smart decision to change to a shorter run though. I actually ditched a shorter workout on Thursday this week because of pain. It’s good to be flexible with training.
