Marathon Training Week 1 of 26
December 18, 2005

Four days of being cold and out of breath. During one run it rained, but we pulled through. Four days of interval running, where we repeat a run-2-3-minutes, walk-4-minutes routine five times each day. Doesn't seem like much, but it wasn't until our fourth run that I wasn't completely out of breath by the end of it, even as we increased the number of 3-minute-runs during the last two sessions.

A friend recommended using Jeff Galloway's marathon training program instead. It's very similiar with interval running, and actually seems lighter in the first few weeks than the e-Hows we're using. I just ordered Galloway's book, and I'll consider supplementing/changing the plan as I read more.

My friend also invited me to join him for the Chicago Marathon in October, which is flattering, but I gotta get through this first one before I make any long-term plans. Jen and I will be traveling at the end of the month, so we'll see how badly that effects the schedule.
