How is it week 10 already?? Crazy. I had my longest run in awhile this week. 11 miles. And another busy weekend, so I did a little bit of switching up. Instead of doing my long run at the end of week (on the weekend), I did it in the middle of the week. I’ve […]
WDW marathon training – week 9
I’m back on track! Thanks to the show opening (and no rehearsals during the week!) and joining the gym, I guess. Plus week 9 is one of the easier, in between weeks, so it wasn’t too bad to fit in a 4 mile run (rather than last week’s 9 mile run). It was still a […]
WDW marathon training – week 8
Oh boy, this week. Probably one of the more stressful weeks I’ve had in a long, long while. It was tech week for the show, which meant that most of my days looked like this – leave for work at 8am, get home around 4:45, make/eat dinner (or choose to nap instead of eating depending […]
Marathon training – week 7 (and a bit of a fail)
On the positive side, I can say at least I didn’t miss any of my major long runs in the training plan. On the negative side, I really didn’t stick to the plan at all this week. I only ran once this week, 1 short 30 minute run. I ended up skipping my long run, […]
WDW marathon training: week 6
Due to my trip to Disney this past week, I didn’t have much time to fit my runs in. But that’s okay, I still got done what I needed to get done! Because I was away Tuesday-Saturday, I did a short run on Monday before I left. I then did my long run the Monday […]
WDW marathon training: week 5
We are on week 5 of marathon training! I tried to get all of my runs in earlier in the week. That way for next week I’ll be able to get more of my runs in early on – since I’m leaving for Disney on Tuesday! My plan for next week is to do the […]
WDW marathon training – week 4
Things I learned while running this week: it’s difficult to catch pokemon while you’re actually on a run. However, running is a very good way to hatch eggs. Also, taking a quick warm-up/cool down lap around the block is another good time to hunt pokemon. Finally, if you really want to catch a Jigglypuff and […]
WDW marathon training – week 3
Sometimes the toughest part about training for a run is finding the time to fit in all the runs! That’s one of the reasons why I’m a big fan of the Galloway training program. He generally takes it pretty easy on you. Only 2 short runs and 1 long run are required each week. I […]
WDW Marathon training – week 2
We are on week 2 of marathon training! I don’t think I mentioned it last week, but the first week or 2 of training overlapped with another running program I’d been doing. I participated in a “run streak” – I vowed to run every day from Memorial Day to the 4th of July. And I […]
Disney World marathon training – week 1
And so it begins. Even though the marathon is over 6 months away (January 8th), training has begun this week. I follow the Jeff Galloway plan for run training and it served me well for 10ks and halfs, so I figured I’d stick with it for the full. Even though the first week is basically what I’ve […]
