Week 1 of Marathon Training

Well, week 1 of training is almost completed!  Three days of running, one day to go.  I ran Mon, Tue. and Thur. - 5 k each time.  I have a longer run on Saturday - we shall see how that goes. 

I think I may redo this week - so I don't go up in kms too quickly - I am coming off a month long break... shin splints would not be fun right now...and I have time to spare... so sounds like a win/win for me.

I've chosen to follow Hal Higdon's novice marathon training.  I've done his 1/2 marathon training before and it went well... so I figure I might as well stick to what I know.  Fingers crossed there won't be any injuries on the way.

What else have I done this week?  I've walked 10km twice, biked on the trainer and had one session of cross fit (Which I really enjoy!).   I know I will enjoy the next sessions - I've signed up for 12 sessions with personal trainer to really get me going and understanding the moves - it's a bit complicated for me.  I tend to overthink things... I will get it.  I just hope it doesn't take me as long as it took me to learn to snowboard! haha

I'm planning on having a rest day tomorrow - perhaps I'll walk or bike a little - but nothing too taxing.  A well deserved rest!
