Long Distance Training Run:
Today was the first long distance run of the Dopey Challenge training. My original plan was to wait until Patrick got home from work to watch Isabel while I went for the scheduled 3 miles. His schedule got pushed back though, so I asked my parents to watch Isabel while I went for my run around their house.
Same distance as my original course, however there are a lot more hills around their house. More of a challenge for myself but a good one. Hills are good and since the course I plan on using for the marathon distance of the Dopey Challenge is full of hills I guess it's never too early to start working on them.
I've decided for now to continue using my 30:1 intervals (run for 30 seconds:walk for 1 minute). I'm hoping to begin to push myself out of my comfort zone to run in longer increments, but for now I need to get back to getting used to being in training mode.
Pre run-
Mile 1- 12:41
Mile 2- 12:52
Mile 3- 12:31
Post run-
Overall it was a great kickoff to training. I got a cramp under my rib cage during the second mile and I think it had a lot to do with my breathing and heart rate being too high. Something to pay attention to and work on. It was also a good reminder to actually do my weekday runs and start strength training. The stronger I am, the easier it will be.
Here's to another active week!
