Vermont City Marathon Training Weeks 4 and 5




OMG I AM ALMOST DONE!

The first line of each day is what I actually did and the parentheses beside it show what my scheduled workout was...

Week 4 (2.18.13 to 2.24.13):

Monday:  30 minutes yoga, 15 minutes abs (weights)
Tuesday:   4.05 miles at 8:24 pace (4 miles)
Wednesday: 25 minutes stationary bike, 10 minutes weights (CT cardio)
Thursday: 3.55 miles at 8:34 pace (4 miles)
Friday: rest (rest)
Saturday: 8.01 miles at 8:53 pace (8 mile long run)
Sunday: 60 minutes of frisbee (3 miles/frisbee)
TOTAL MILES*: 18.61



Week 5 (2.25 to 3.2.13):

Monday:  3.83 miles at 8:38 pace (weights)
Tuesday:  weights and core (4 miles)
Wednesday:  1 hour spin class (CT cardio)
Thursday: 4.9 miles at 8:05 pace (5 miles)
Friday: rest (rest)
Saturday: 10.01 miles at 9:06 m/m pace (10 mile long run)
Sunday: 45 minutes of frisbee (3 miles/frisbee)
TOTAL MILES*: 21.74 

*my cousin who ran the Vermont City Marathon in 2012 and who plays ultimate frisbee in college said that her running coach told her an hour of frisbee counts as about 3 miles of running and is great interval training. So I'm counting it as 3 in my totals.

After this, I'll post a recap of week 6 and then I'll be caught up and hopefully have more freedom to post some other interesting things.
