I’m back to not really “training” for anything right now, although I have a 5k in about 2 weeks and probably the 12 miler in early August (still need to sign up for that…) so I’m kind of just running what I feel like. I miss having the structure of a training plan but its also nice to not feel like I “have to” run certain workouts or distances.

Hopefully after the RRCA coaching training next week I’ll have a better idea of what my plan for the Philly Marathon will be!

How have your workouts been lately?

How do you figure out what workouts to do when you’re not “training”?

    I seem to be in the same spot as you, 10 miler in August and not yet training for Philly! I also like not being tied down to certain distances or worrying about a training schedule for the moment.

      Agreed! But I have to admit I’m a little excited to start training for Philly:)

    Ooooo I wanted so badly to get RRCA certified, but there were no openings for me. And now, obviously, I have the job, but I still hope to get certified some day. I would loooooove to be a running coach, that is actually a huge part of the reason I got NASM certified! Can’t wait to hear about it.

      It was really difficult to get into an RRCA training! (That’s why I’m traveling to Cape Cod for it) but I have wanted to do it for awhile! I was thinking that at some point I would love to get NASM certified…I am planning to see how the coaching goes and then decide if it will be a good investment to add to my qualifications!

Yesterday’s’ long run was 16 miles with 6 x 1 Yesterday’s’ long run was 16 miles with 6 x 1 mile MP/1 mile easy. I took a few hours of PTO in the morning to do this on the trail because I knew wouldn’t be able to do it this weekend. This was my first time on the trail since my marathon last November. It was nice to be back there and the perfect place to do this kind of long run. It was the kind of run where you start thinking “ok cool I just did a tough MP workout” but then you remember you actually need to run 26 miles in a row at that pace. Luckily there’s still 9 more weeks of training…although that doesn’t really sound like that much!
41 miles for the week and got in 2 strength sessions. Taking it easy this weekend other than chasing the kids around for all their activities! #run #marathontraining #longrun
It’s kind of freeing to not care about pace. It It’s kind of freeing to not care about pace. It is a little frustrating to have to plan more time for an easy run. But it’s definitely worth it to recover quicker and feel better on workout days! #run #marathongtraining #easyrun
You know marathon training is starting to get real You know marathon training is starting to get real when you start losing track of what training week it is. I had to check my calendar but this was week 6, so 10 weeks to go! 

I ran the Charles Street 12 last weekend so this week was all about easy miles and recovering from the race. That went well until I went and ran all the hills yesterday followed by walking around a maze and fun park for 5 hours. I got in some strength and mobility this morning and now I’m back to focusing on recovery!

If you’re training for a race how many weeks do you have left?

15 miles, over 1,100 feet of elevation gain, and 9 15 miles, over 1,100 feet of elevation gain, and 91% humidity 🫠 Pretty sure that was harder than my race last weekend, but got it done. Now off to my second workout of the day- taking the kids to an outdoor fun park. RIP to my legs. 
What are you up to this weekend?
