Training Week in Review

Still taking it easy on the run, but less knee pain, which means IT Band is getting better. At least I can run without having to stop. This week I double up on spin class since it's now being offered twice a week. I'm also getting back into weight training. I'm hoping by working out my legs, it'll help strengthen my legs and glutes and alleviate the ITB issues.

I ran 10 miles on Sunday at my marathon pace, about 8:40, which should put me at about a 3:50 marathon. My goal is to finish under 4 hours, so this gives me about 10 minutes of wiggle room. Pace felt good and I think I could go faster. My legs were still sore from lifting weights. If I had fresh legs, I think I could've gone faster. Right now my plan is to run 8:40 for 18 miles. Hopefully, I'll have enough in me to pick up the pace and either maintain an 8:40 pace or better on the hills.
