A recap of my weekly workouts from the previous week.
This whole marathon training isn’t going as well as I thought it would be. We keep cutting our long runs short and I get pretty tired after about 13 miles. It’s really hard to keep a consistent pace the whole time and we stop a few times with a longer break than we would take if we were running a race. Hopefully I can pull it together the next few weeks!
Sunday – CrossFit WOD
800m run
75 wall balls (20/14)
600m run
50 box jumps (24/20)

I finished in 18:45 using 65#

I worked up to 145# and finished with 2 rounds + 41 reps (16 box jumps) RX
Wednesday – half a Crush workout (did the tread part)
Thursday – training run

Modified the CFCL workout so I could do it where we were staying. I didn’t time myself, just wanted to get moving.

October 18, 2016 at 8:05 amHang in there! I’m not sure what week you’re on for marathon training but my past two marathon training cycles I hit a rut around weeks 5-6… the excitement of training wore off and things started to feel like more of a chore! Then you have a really great run or workout and remember why you’re doing it – it always passed for me after a week or two.
