Half Marathon Training: Week 1, Day 1

Today's Workout

  • 10 min warmup jog

  • 7 x 60 sec strides, 2 min recovery run/walk

  • 4 min cooldown run/walk


This workout just about kicked my butt! I guess it's the heat, 86° with a feels like of 92°. I felt really good during my warmup, kept it slow and easy. Then it was the 7 x 60" strides with the goal of getting further with each one but that was easier said then done! By the 5th one I was struggling but at least I was able to complete this workout even if it was a lot slower than what I hoped for. Finished with walking lunges, seat kicks, high knees, lots of stretching and 50 crunches and 20 push ups.

  • Total - 35:00 - 2.95 miles - 11:52 avg pace

  • Active - 7:00 - 0.85 miles - 8:14 avg pace

  • Recovery - 28:00 - 2.09 miles - 13:23 avg pace
