Training for my first marathon is still going well so far. This week’s long run wasn’t that long, I guess to get a break and have some time to recover for the increasing miles ahead. I’m still somewhat following Hal Higdon’s Intermediate Plan with a few tweaks.
Here’s what last week’s workouts looked like:
Monday – Cross training day. I tried 21 Day Fix Extreme, The Fix Challenge for the first time. Oh my, it was a challenge and great workout! There’s 13 moves. You start with the first one and then keep adding one move each time until you get to the end and do all 13 moves. I liked it!
Tuesday – Ran 3 miles.
Wednesday – 5 evening miles. 
Thursday – I did Insanity Cardio Recovery. It’s a great recovery workout with good stretches but not easy. There’s lots of squats and lunges with pulses.
Friday – Ran 6 miles. 
Saturday – Ran 9 miles.
Here’s a summary of what Hal Higdon’s plan had scheduled and what I did:
| Mon | Tues | Wed | Thur | Fri | Sat | Sun | |
| Hal Higdon’s plan | Cross | 3 m run | 5 m run | 3 m run | Rest | 6 m pace | 9 |
| What I did | Cross | 3 m run | 5 m run | Cross | 6 m pace | 9 | Rest |
How did last week go for you? Any races coming up? I’ll be pacing a half marathon on Saturday. It should be fun. Here’s to a great week ahead!
I’m linking up with Tuesdays on the Run – MCM Mama Runs, My No-Guilt Life, and Run the Great Wide Somewhere.
Happy Running Mom

My friend is currently doing the 21 day fix workout plus the diet and already has seen great results. I have the Insanity video and I’d rather go out and run five miles instead of doing that. It is so hard!

21 Day Fix is a good one! Insanity is hard but if you keep at it, it get’s better.

Thanks Sharon! I’ve just tried a couple workouts from 21 Day Fix. Nathan did the whole program and liked it. No, I haven’t tried that one yet.

Great week!! Thanks for linking up! I liked the Hal Higdon plan when I tried it a couple of years ago, you just reminded me I wanted to try it out again!

Thanks! I tried one of Hal Higdon’s half marathon plans for my first half so I thought why not try it for my first full marathon. 🙂
