Marathon Training Week 15

Monday: Rest

Tuesday: Rest

Wednesday: 6 miles @ 8:10/mile
For whatever reason I struggled to through this workout. The effort was much higher than it should be for 8:10/mile. I did take a detour down the new Abbots Creek trail and found that the City has made great progress and there is about 2/3 of a mile complete now, with more to come very soon (the workers were completing the bridge).

Thursday: Rest
Stretch & Foam Roll

Friday: 6 miles @ 8:11/mile
It didn't feel windy at all until I turned the corner on to Capital Hills and then there it was right in my face! Capital Hills is breezy at the best of times, but it pretty bad today. 8:10/mile felt easier today, even in to the wind.

Saturday: Rest
Stretch & Foam Roll

Sunday: 14 miles @ 8:13/mile
1 mile warm up (8:50) followed by 12 @ 8:10 and a 1 mile warm down. Ran further on the new Greenway Trail today towards the Soccer Park - it was a great day for a run along side the Neuse River with a nice chill in the air. 21 days to go until the City of Oaks with the ATT 10-miler next weekend.

Total miles for Week 15: 26
