Las Vegas Marathon Week 4 RUNdown
HUMP day! I can't believe I'm already 4 WEEKS into marathon training?!?!? Less than 90 days until race day and I'm still deciding what exactly my goals for this race coming up are. I'm pretty positive that I have a PR in me, but am not yet at the point where I'm at that BQ level. I know I don't need to put in a TON of training to get under (realistically) 3:45, so I may be adjusting my training plan to cut-back on mileage a bit so when I'm ready to train FULL ON for my BQ next Spring 2019 I'll be rested and ready to go. I'm leaning towards cutting things back a bit and focusing on my strength, but still not completely decided yet! Anyways, enough of my rambling- I hit 48 miles last week and here's the full RUNdown.
Monday, August 6th: 6 easy miles @ 9:58 808' UP / 60 minute Jumpboard Class at Lunch / 20 minute recovery yoga after work
Tuesday, August 7th: 2 mi warm-up @ 9:55; 7 mi @ 8:29 155' ; 2 mi cool-down 10:22 - 11 miles total

Made a new friend on my run. He wasn't very chatty, but listens really well.

This is how you're supposed to use the treadmill right?!?
