August 17-22
Swim: 0. Bike: 16 miles, 1 hour spin. Run: 27.5 miles. Other: 0.
Now that the half-ironman is over, I need to focus my training on the marathon. I think I can make through it, but maybe not a PR. My goal is still to qualify for Boston (3:40) and a very optimistic goal is to break 3:30 I can't believe I am writing that, but I gotta shoot for the stars sometime.
Monday: Rest day.
Tuesday: 5.5 miles pushing James, easy pace. First run since half. I ran the first half with Cherie and then did a second loop. 10:30 pace.
Wednesday: 1 hour spin at gym. I was still pretty tired. But got a good workout in.
Thursday: track workout. I am surprised I did as well as I did. 1 mile warm-up, 4x100 striders, 2 x 200 (:47, :48), 8 x 400s (3:17, 3:!7, 3:16, 3:16, 3:16, 3:16, 3:17, 3:20), 4 x 100 accelerators, 1 mile cool down. I felt pretty good.
Friday: 16 mile bike. Biked with Ty up the twist. 16 mph average.
Saturday 15.5 mile run on the marathon course. 8:08 average. I was very surprised with this result and happy. I intended to do the last 14 of the course and if I felt good, a couple more. I didn't think I could run that fast, 1 week after the half, but it was all down hill. I will do another long run on Saturday. I need to run a 8:00 to break 3:30. Yikes!!
