Day three - upper body weights 1 hour, run 3 miles.
Day Four - should have done lower body, but was running late, so ran 2 miles (without stopping and in 19:58 - a best for me in almost a year)
Day Five - Rest - long run tomorrow. I am not going to do weights or a run (mostly because I am behind on my studying, lab paper and midterm prep), but will do an hour of pilates. Told (of course, by my trainer) pilates are GREAT for runners - they lengthen and strengthen muscles without a lot off stress. I am a HUGE fan of pilates!
The plan for tomorrow is to run a long run of 4 long miles (if you can call that a long run) then rest on Sunday.
Start the week over on Monday, increasing the length of each run gradually. You can email me or leave a comment if you want the training schedule. I will not bore you (if anyone is actually reading this) with the whole 12 week schedule. I think it would bore me to write it!
I have one midterm a week in October - two in one week. Running and lifting helps me deal a little better with the stress. Not a lot, but a little.
May all your runs be good ones!
