Happy Monday to all! I was able to do a workout on Saturday this weekend - the stairmaster baby!! :) Laris- I got your running CD and can't wait to listen! i love good tunes to get pumped up!
I wanted to share this site with you girls. One of my running friends passed this along to me last year when I was training for the 10K. The guy's name is Hal Higdon and he has training workout routines for beginners, moderate, and advanced for 5K, 8K, 10K, halfs and full marathon, etc. His site was really helpful for me last year, because I was able to at least have some type of plan to work off of. I printed off a scheduled routine and felt good every day that I checked something off. My biggest fear with the 10K was that I wouldn't feel prepared and that would leave me mentally nervous and fearful and physically incapable. So having a plan for me was a great start! Everybody does it differently though! So always, whatever works for you. I started really early with the program last year, made some alterations to it, etc. I tried not to get down on myself if a day didn't work out, you just have to brush it off, and get back to your next routine. But i think when we all can best choose a date for the half then one of his programs will be really helpful for me.
Hal Higdon Try going to the Left Navigation bar and clicking on Training Programs
A couple of songs I listened to on Saturday: Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen, Viva La Vida Coldplay, Jay-Z and the Verve's Bittersweet Symphony.

ReplyDeleteAnna, Thanks for passing along this Hal Higdon fellow! He looks like he knows what's up. I'm sort of already doing what he he is suggesting for the 10k run, so it's good to know I'm on the right track!
ReplyDeleteGood call on Bittersweet Symphony! I just added it to my Running playlist- it's growing everyday which is great because I hate getting sick of my running music!
