My 16 week marathon training plan kicks off on August 15th and I’m preparing for that by building up my running base.  So it’s like I’m training for my training.  I know, right?!

I usually run 3 or 4 times per week and in fact, I’ve even trained for marathons only running 3 or 4 days a week.  But this plan will have me out 4 or 5 times and maybe even 6 times a week as we get to the peak training.

Gulp.

So I’ve started adding a run here and there to get myself up to 5 runs per week.  I’m not pushing any specific pace-training at this point, it’s just time on my feet and getting my body used to running 5 days.

So for those who are interested, here’s my running schedule for this and next week.

• Mon – off
• Tues – 6 miles
• Wed – 20 minutes
• Thurs – 6 to 7 miles
• Fri – off
• Sat – 40 to 50 minutes
• Sun – 75 to 90 minutes

It goes without saying that Boot-Camp will still happen 4 days a week and yoga will continue to be a daily occurrence.  Because I find that in order for me to be a stronger and more fit runner (and human) I need all three components.

I know that many of you are gearing up for or in the middle of your own race training.  Share what you’re doing and keep me posted on your progress.  I have a new Facebook page set up for the Marin BreakfastKlub Runners so check it out, Like it or Follow it and post your comments!  https://www.facebook.com/seekelirun/
