I hope Saturday went well. We are just beginning with some small mileage runs. Just 4 or 3 (or 6 for Indy) miles depending on full or half training. We will build up like this for a few weeks. I will be going to Body n Sole this week and verifying our team discount for shoes and clothes. I will let them know that you may be stopping by soon to run on their treadmill and getting fitted for the proper shoes.
Ladies, if you need to you may want to call ahead and find out when Beth or one of the other ladies will be working. They can assist you with questions you may have about sports bras or any other concerns you may have. Even if you are doing only a half this is important equipment for you as well. If you don't want to ask me (and I am going to refer to someone else anyway since I have no experience with the fit of sports bras), perhaps Mentor Maranna can give you some suggestions. Here is a link to Runners World sports bra homepage http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-369-470--12823-0,00.html . The first paragraph was astonishing.
Wednesday Workout: 60 second bursts. So the workout will go something like this: warm up 4 laps (1/2 mile), run all out for 60 sec. and you will note how far you got (1.25 laps or 1.5 laps or 3 laps, whatever). Then you will do 1-2 laps recovery (walk or slow jogging) then will do another all out for 60 sec trying to get further than you did the last time. You will repeat this until you've done 5 60-second bursts. Followed with a 4-lap cool down. This will total ~3 miles.
Here's your schedule for the week:
Monday: 25 min
Tuesday: XT 30 min
Wednesday: Speed work at the Armory at 6:30pm
Thursday: R/S
Friday: 25 min
Saturday: 4 for full and 3 for half for Seattle/Chicago - 6 miles for Indy halfers.
Sunday: R/S
