Week 3 Training Schedule

How is everyone doing thru 3 weeks of training? Whitney, Moose, and I had a great run with Pastor Adam Dooley Saturday morning followed by biscuits at the Biscuit King but I have a feeling that won't be the last time we do the Fairhope/Biscuit King course for our Saturday run. Whitney and I will be traveling early Saturday morning for Christmas with my grandmother so I won't be scheduling a group run but I would encourage one of you to post a suggestion on the Facebook group and get everyone together. I'll try and post something informative or fun later in the week but for now here is your week 3 training schedule.

New Runners doing the 1/2

Week 3: 
5 Days this week: 
Day 1: Brisk 5 minute warm up walk, then:
1/2 mile jog, 1/4 mile walk, 1/2 mile jog, 1/4 mile walk, 1/2 mile jog; total 2 miles. Go home
 Day 2: 5 minute warm up, then: 3/4 mile jog (3 laps) 1/2 mile walk (2 laps) 3/4 mile jog; total 2 miles. Go home. 
Day 3: 5 minute warm up then: 2 mile jog (8 laps) NO WALKING!!! Catch your breath and go home. Good job.
Day 4: Repeat day 3
Day Day 5: Repeat Day 2.


Experienced Runners doing the 1/2


Run at least 4 days per week at least 2 miles per day do more if you are comfortable this week try and work in some speed work 1 day by running 1 mile as a warm up mile at your regular pace and then run your 2nd mile at 1 minute per mile faster (i.e.. if you normally run 10 minute miles run your 1st mile at 10 min pace and your 2nd mile at 9 min pace)

Marathon Plan

Mon – 3 miles; Wed 4 miles; Thurs 3 miles; Sat 6 miles
