So last week I started my formal 16-week training program for the Marine Corps Marathon on October 27th. After searching around I decided to go with a program from MarathonRookie.com, simply because all the other ones I found included WAY too much mileage (which I think is a fairly common issue in my experience). I am really just following the weekly long runs in the program; my other runs will be primarily based on how much time I have to train and listening to my body. So away we go...
Last week I was only able to get in three runs due to being on vacation. Two were five miles (which according to my program was my week 1 long run), and the other was three (which was scheduled to be five, but I had to cut short because of brutal heat and humidity). So far this week I got in five miles yesterday and six (my week 2 long run) today. Thus, I can at least say I stuck to the long runs in my training program for two weeks--so I have that going for me, which is nice. That is it for now--as always, thanks for reading!
