Marathon Training Week Four

Done and Done! Five runs and they were once again all on the treadmill. I think this is the last week of rain(cross your fingers), so I will be getting out a little bit more!

Here is what week four looked like-

Monday - 6

Tuesday - 4

Wednesday - 2

Thursday - 10

Friday - 3

I read somewhere that doing a shorter run the day after your long run can help your legs get used to running tired, so I have played with my schedule to have a shorter run follow my long run. Most of these will be between 2-4 miles at a nice easy recovery pace. 

For cross training this week, my daughter and I moved a bunch of sod to clear out space for a gravel pathway. Then, my husband and I continued that project and spread two yards of pea gravel on Saturday. It was a great way to enjoy the 70 degree day!

So far, I have put in 83 miles for this marathon training cycle!
