- Continue to focus on negative splits - All of my runs were!
- I am LOVING running in the cold weather.
- I really like not having a 'set' training schedule. It allows me to listen to my body and respond accordingly.
- I have decided cycling on the trainer is a MUCH better workout than on the road. Especially the interval video I have been doing... hot sweaty mess.
Have you all seen this part of Saucony.com's webpage?
You can make your own 'THIS IS MY STRONG' shirt.
They are not expensive + all shirt profits go to Run For Good Foundation.
This is what mine would be... what words would you use??????
I am going to have to check out the saucony shirt thing, looks cool.
ReplyDeleteI try for negative splits on all my runs too. Great job with your training!
Agreed, I totally get a better workout when I'm in spin classes as opposed to being out on the road.
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm biking outside, the environment is super limiting (with street lights and such because I live in the city) and I can't really push it...plus I don't wan't to get hit by a car or fall or anything like that, so I am always more hesitant/cautious.
Great training so far!!
nice job hitting over your goal mileage for the week!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job with your training!
ReplyDeleteAnd that Saucony shirt is so cool, I definitely need to check that out.
I'm going to have a look at the Saucony website!
ReplyDeletewhoo fantastic mileage and congrats on maintaining negative splits. That's great your listening to your body :)
Great week of training. Like how you mix up your runs with some cross training.
ReplyDeleteBTM - Awesome blog.
First, I must say that your training looks SO smart right now. Great job, girl!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I LOVE colder weather running too. Yay for fall/winter!!
I will go check out Saucony's page- coll idea there.
omg omg OMG i need one of those shirts right now!! also, love your training - even though you were above your goal mileage its def good to listen to your body and not force workouts and miles on days you don't want them - and get them in on the days you do!! In the cold I'd totally pick riding the trainer over the roads any day - you can push it a LOT more :-D
ReplyDeleteohhh! love the saucony shirt thing! i will have to check that out!
ReplyDeletealso...i get so inspired looking at your workouts! you always go all out and give your whole heart to your workouts! love it!
hi!! I love all your motivation and excitement about racing! so happy I stumbled across your blog! xoxo!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you RUNNING & BIKING. Those were 2 super passions of mine and I mainly use the elliptical for convenience. To give you background I used to run 8 miles a day at about 8 min. miles with hills,,never missed a day and biked in the evening and weekends. It is a super passion. Ride and run forever.
