My book arrived last week - Finally! It is a program written by Joe Henderson, a seasoned marathon-er and writer of training programs. This one gets you ready in 100 days. For my level - "Cruiser" (which is not worried about time, just finishing), I need to be able to complete a 10K and run for an hour non-stop by the time I begin my 100 days. The 100 days begins October 2 for my January 9, 2011 Disney World marathon. In the meantime, I have now begun my 2nd week of what I call "pre-marathon training"!
Last Thursday, May 27, I began a week (4 days - Thurs, Sat, Mon & Tues) of running 5 minutes/walking 5 minutes and did that 4 times. Yesterday, June 3, I began running 10 minutes/walking 5 minutes 3 times. It felt great! I have quickly learned that I need to get to running before about 8:30 AM or it gets too hot quickly! Today is Friday and it is a rest day - Yay! So my plan is to run tomorrow (Sat), Sun or Mon (haven't decided which yet) and then Tues. I will build up from there when Thursday rolls around again, probably try 2 20-minute runs with walk breaks.
I am looking for a 10K to do around August/September - will perhaps do a 5K I did last year in July again.
More later!
