Back to Journal  « The Sag | Marathon Training Week 3 of 26 | 2005Q4 Quarter in Review » Marathon Training Week 3 of 26 January 1, 2006 We were on the road this week, up north and we missed exactly one full week of running. We did try, but the ground was too icy. So we don't get credit for anything more than a brisk walk. We got home late last night and today we played cautious catch-up and went five miles of interval-running, where our goal was 5-6. This is where having such a conservative training schedule really pays off, that this early in the game we're able to get back on track without worrying about putting too much stress on our bodies. We simply upped the walking-to-running ratio of the intervals. Won't be so easy if this happens later in the training schedule though. More advice on shoes from Jen's sister (a lifelong runner): buy two pairs if possible and alternate them, because good running shoes take a few days after a long run to "recover" and alternating them will increase the life of both of them. I'll likely pick up my first pair of dedicated running shoes this week. I'll alternate between them and my current (everyday sneakers) shoes this week and if they're a good match for my feet then I'll probably purchase a second pair. I know I'm risking an injury by wearing these sneakers now that I'm past a few miles per run. |
