Half Marathon Training Week 6

Day 1: Two ten minute intervals done! Slowly, and steadily getting better. I have noticed my foot is doing the weird falling asleep while running thing so I’ll need to keep an eye on that.

Optimized: same run as the last one, still about the same. I do wish my neighborhood was flatter when it comes to these long runs.

*since there’s been an optimized run added to this, and rainy days, I went ahead and split this week into two weeks. (Perks of the actual race being a year and a half out)

Day 2: I ran this on the treadmill since it was raining out and it was a doozy. I don’t know why the treadmill feels tougher now that I’m used to outdoor runs, but it does. I may attempt this one again outdoors this week on a nicer day.

Day 2 (attempt 2): I really wanted to do this workout again since it was so rough on the treadmill, and unfortunately, it was rough on the track too. I think this is partially because I’ve been walking long distances on my non-running days, so I think I need to switch to weight lifting and short walks on those days.

Day 3: This workout was done on my regular route and I’m glad I did- I managed to run both intervals fairly well at a consistent pace. I was really happy with this one when I finished it.

It’s a good think I broke “week 6” up into two weeks because I think I was mentally struggling with the times bumping up so much. On to week 7!
