Setting Up My Training Plan and Running from Yeti

Image
3-6-25 When I posted about setting up my own training plan, I did more research on training plans. It turns out mine was lacking in time on the feet, and wouldn't have set me up for success. It didn't have enough miles, or time on the road during the week to help build the endurance needed for the race. Since I am a slower runner right now, I need to build up my endurance for the long run. So, my weekday runs will consist of an easy run, an easy mid-distance run, speed work, and a long run. It will be a steady 10% increase in distance each week, specifically for the long run. The other runs will increase slower, so I don't pass that 10%.  3-9-25 Well, I increased a lot more than 10% yesterday (3/8). I've had the Run From Yeti race on my schedule for a while. I changed it from the half marathon to the 10k, I'm glad I did that change, but I didn't want to miss out on this race. So, even with basically no running base, I went out and did it. My plan was simple in...

Managing the Noise Between the Ears

Pre Run Today is a day I need the run. When I was working on my undergrad running was a way I was able to manage the crap that goes on between my ears. I am having a hard time getting anything done. The noise between my ears is a lot today. I hope I make it out the door and further than a few houses down. That's what happened yesterday, I made it 4 houses away and stopped and came back. I felt defeated, I kept telling myself I would run after work. It didn't happen. My goal for today is 40 minutes. Post Run I made it. I did the whole 40 minutes doing a run/walk. Running really helped me to regulate my emotions. I'm still not feeling the greatest, but I am doing better than I was. What helped me get through the first half was dangling that carrot in front of me of feeling better than I was. The second half was accomplished because I had to make it home and had 20 minutes make it there to get back to work. Which I will have to start getting some more miles in to get it feeli...

5k, 10k, 10k, and MBA Updates

It's been a while since I posted, rest assured I am still making it out during my lunch, sometimes. I'm not as consistent as I want to be, and because of that I changed the June half marathon into a 10k. I have a 5k this weekend with Silvia, so that should be fun. We get free tacos after the race. I'm really not even ready to run hard for the 5k. But I'll give what I've got. On June 7th I have a 10k, that was supposed to be part of my training for the half. Now I've got 10k's two weekends in a row. The next few weeks I will be working on my base by cross training on my bike. I did join a gym to do strength training 2 days a week also. I'm not sure if I'm doing a fall race, I've not decided yet. It may be another 10k. But I will be keeping to my running 3 days a week, two 30ish minute days, and one 60 minute day. That should be easy to maintain. I will work up to a half marathon distance again. On a non-running note, I have two courses left in my ...
