NYCM Training Week 2

Happy Monday! As you can see, this weekend was a great one filled everything from Harry Potter to home cooked meals.

NYRR Run for Central Park: Negative Splits

My Type of Sunday

Last week, I logged 17 miles of running, one spin class, 30 minutes of yoga, and two personal training sessions. I stuck to my training plan perfectly which is a great start. It seems weird to be proud of running 17 miles in one week when that was the equivalent of one long run just a nine months ago. But, building mileage isn’t easy when you’re so accustomed to shorter runs.

This week’s plan is very similar to last week except the mileage of my Monday and Saturday runs are increased.

Monday: Basic run 5 miles with 4 striders

Tuesday: Personal training in the AM + yoga PM

Wednesday: 3 miles + spin class

Thursday: Personal Training

Friday: Rest Day

Saturday: NYCM Long Training Run #1 at least 9 miles (I’m going to see how I feel at 9 and possibly push myself to do 10 or 11. My goal is to maintain around a 10 minute per mile pace.)

Sunday: 3 mile recovery run

I’m excited to finally hit the 20 mile mark next week!

Hope you have a great week and are able to stick with your own personal workout or training goals.

    Nice job Ash. I feel like I had a fairly light week last week, feeling ready to ramp it up!

    Nice job! I have decided not to run NYC this year, so I am going to live vicariously through you and the other bloggers running it. I was contemplating joining in on Saturday’s long run, but it’s supposed to be 85 by 7 a.m.!! Eeek.
