Changed up my Training

After I finished the ING Half Marathon I changed my training plan to the Furman First Plan for the 10K. I didn't change for any reason, but variety. Just felt like doing something a little different.

The pattern of the Furman First is pretty much the same as the Galloway plan I was using. Three run workouts a week with x-training in between, but the intensity of the Furman plan is more intense.

Since I have started working from 6pm till 2:30am I may have to modify what I am doing.  For now on my off days I have been riding my bike trainer for 1/2 an hour and then walking 2 miles. I believe I will stick with the Furman First, but I may limit my workouts to an hour a day.  Seems like this work schedule I am on I run out of time really quickly.

We will see how it goes and adapt if needed.

PODCAST SHOWNOTES:

I am at Lilburn Park sitting in my Mobile Podcasting Studio (my car) after my second Furman First workout. You may be able to hear the rain in the background. I discuss my switch from the Galloway 10K training plan to the Furman First 10K training plan.

Prior to that though, I correct a mistake from my last podcast by playing audio that Carlos sent me stripped from his video. Check his videos out on Runcast.TV

Good Training Week

This week has been a good training week. I managed to get in 34.1 miles, that is very good, haven't done that for a very long time. If I can keep it up and not break down maybe I will start to get faster in races. Certainly hope so, been slow for a long time now. The ING 1/2 Marathon is in about 2 weeks so we will see if my training has helped.

I would say that I have been slowing down for the last 6 years, of course I know age has something to do with it, but if I would have been training like I should have I wouldn't have slowed down as much. The 10K training plan I have been using seems to be helping me get some speed back.

On a funny note, I received the Atlanta Track Club "Wingfoot" magazine today and checked the results for the Peachtree City 10K that I ran in January.  Looks like the Track Club sorted the race results by participants last name instead of finish place. Takes the pressure off of having to run fast. So, I hope the winner of Peachtree this year has a last name that starts with "A" or he may not be credited with winning the race.

Running at Yellow River Park

Have been doing some running at Yellow River Park. Previously I had mountain biked there in the mid 1990's, but hadn't been back since. The park has really changed since that time. The county has built two separate facilities, one for the runners/walkers and one for the mountain bikers. I guess it is really three facilities because there is an area for the people that bring horses to the park also. Good place to do some trail running.

The park also has a paved one mile loop and this week I did my interval workout on it. Had my Garmin set for 1/4 mile intervals and just ran until it beeped recovered and did it again. Got in a little over eight miles with the warm up, 18 X 1/4 mile and then the cool down.

Has been nice to be able to add one more spot to my list of workout locations. I think I have found another location that I am going to check out this coming week and if it is a good spot to run I will give an update on it next week.

Just got sidelined for a couple of days due to some dental surgery that I had this afternoon. Not feeling so good right now.
