Today was the first day of my new Training Plan. I decided to use PCCoach again. PCCoach is a computerized training system that has plug-in training plans.
I am using Jeff Galloway's 1/2 Marathon training plan. The first training week has three running days and three cross training days.
Today I ran just over 3 miles, I will list out the plan for the week.
Monday - 3 miles easy, keep heart rate below 135 bpm.
Tuesday - XT 45 minutes, keep heart rate below 135 bpm.
Wednesday - run 30 to 45 minutes, keep heart rate below 140 bpm.
Thursday - XT 40 minutes, keep heart rate below 135 bpm.
Friday - run 30 to 45 minutes, keep heart rate below 140 bpm.
Saturday - XT 45 minutes, keep heart rate below 135 bpm.
I haven't decided if I will update the Blog daily or once a week. I'll just play it by ear.
Now for today. I got up this morning and picked up one of my copies of Trailrunner Magazine to read during breakfast. As I read some of the articles it got me thinking today would be a great day for a trail run. It was cool and clear out this morning, so I decided to run the Indian Island Loop Trail at Stone Mountain.
I went to the park and started my run near the main train station where the big carving on the mountain is located. I hit the trail and ran easy, felt good for the whole run. Very short trail run but it was nice to be on the trail.
For a little past news, I ran a 10K in Cartersville, GA on the 7th of October and ran really slow. I expected to be slow though because I hadn't run much for the last month. I did do some walking so I wasn't completely out of shape, just slow. My time was 58:32 for 10K.
ORN: 3.17 miles, R4/W1, 42:07
