This week in training
I’m now on Week 11 of Hal Higdon’s Intermediate I marathon training program. Things are starting to get intense — this week features the most miles of any week in the program. (The weeks with 20-mile long runs have less mileage because of shorter weekend pace runs.) I started off the week yesterday with a short swim; I only stayed in the pool for half an hour and didn’t try to go very far, mostly because my entire body felt like a rock after Sunday’s long run. Today I hit the ‘mill for a 5-mile recovery run (45:55), and then the weight room for some upper body work. The rest of the week — 8 miles tomorrow, 5 on Thursday, 8 on Saturday, and 18 on Sunday. It’s actually forecast to get above freezing tomorrow, so I’m excited about running outside and not freezing my face off.
