It’s Sunday and for this Sunday that means too things: planning out my week and school tomorrow!! Eeek!! Last day of summer vacation!
Week 7 of Marathon Training
Fitness
Monday – I’ll most likely go back to making Mondays one mile days due to time. I’m hoping to leave school in time to make it to BodyPump in the afternoon.
Tuesday – 4 miles
Wednesday – 4 miles
Thursday – Today will be tricky. I have my open house, Hayden’s Open House and coaching. I’m not sure how I’ll juggle all that but it’ll sort itself out. Going for at least a mile to keep my streak up!
Friday – one mile (maybe more if needed)
Saturday – 10 miles
Sunday – 11 miles. Hitting double digits now for both days on the weekend.
Total miles: 32 but probably 35-36
Meal Planning
We picked some yummy dishes this week!!
- Lemony Shrimp Linguine
- Tex Mex Risotto
- Seared Steak with a chipotle sauce
Thursday will probably be take out since we have a full schedule. I may grab salads from Panera on my way home. Try to keep it healthy and fresh.
What’s on your fitness plan? How has your training been going? Any yummy meals planned?

Good luck with the schedule. The long runs on consecutive days at the weekend sounds tough.
Thank you!! My body handles them so much better than super long runs for marathon training. This is my second time training this way and I love it!
It’s whatever suits you best. I’m running my second marathon in 2 weeks and had a 22 mile long run yesterday. With me its gaining experience of 20+ mile runs. Proving to myself that I can do them
It really is!! It’s a great thing when you find a plan that your body likes. It does wonders! Good luck on your marathon!! I’ll be running mine mid-Oct. Lucky #7! 🙂
Good luck. Which one are you doing?
7 Bridges in Chattanooga, TN. You?
Longford in Ireland
Oh wow!! Awesome!
How has your training been going this week. I’m following you on IG now
Pretty good, so far. Nailed some speed work yesterday and got a decent run in yesterday. The heat and humidity is back so I’m back to being more realistic with my runs. They feel tougher than they should be. How about you??
It’s been almost going too well. I ran 22 miles on Saturday and felt great. 6 minutes up on my projected time. Hope I haven’t peaked too soon. Marathon is in 11 days
Go you!! That’s awesome. You got this!!
Looks like another good week of training for you! My training has been great until this morning…I was in a battle with Mother Nature and she won. The heat and humidity hurt me. I didn’t pace myself well. Ugh. I had to quit on my run. It’s been a long time since that’s happened!
Upward and onward, right?
Yes, ma’am!!! Brush yourself off. For every bad run, there are ton of good ones waiting to happen. The weather has been taking a toll on everyone. You are not alone!!
Back to back long runs. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you but be careful. My training is going through an adjustment period. I’m back at work with a different schedule so I’m slowly becoming a PM workout person. It’s just not the same as AM. Still. I’m getting it done!
This my second time using this training plan. I used it earlier this year for Gasparilla and my marathon. I feel so much better doing back to back long runs vs 20 milers. Thanks for the warning though.
I’m also going back to running all weekday runs in the evenings. I’ll
miss my occasional morning run.
My fitness plan for the week has another mileage jump and lots of pole classes since it’s my last week of freedom before work!! Looks like you have a great week planned out!
Yay!! Getting in good workouts before we are back at it. I’ll have some juggling to do this week but I’ll figure it out. 🙂 Have a great week!!
You too – good luck this week!!!
