Week 2: January 14 - 20 2013

Week 2: January 14-20, 2013
2nd week of Mesocycle #1

Monday: .5 @ an easy, conversational pace.YAY! i ran 1 mile without realizing it. i started running from my apartment and then back again, and when i mapped it afterwards it was double what i was supposed to do. i am beginning to push past that pain stage when i want to give up and quit.

Tuesday: 1 mile - speed and form time trial. central parki ran in 9.02 for my mile. this is to determine my fitness level, and what pace i should be training at. (i am currently regarded as NOVICE!)i find it quite thrilling to be in the park at night, twice round the 'dust bowl' in very low lighting made me quite delirious, and i panicked loosing my bearings! thankfully i was not abandoned by the trainers (and other runners who'd finished long before), i just lost the end in my delirium

Wednesday: 0 miles - stretching, stretching, stretching


Thursday: 1 miles @ an easy, conversational pace including cross training.
Cross-Training description:1) Run half of your mileage to the circuit zone: do the moves; runhalf of your mileage back to original starting point.2) Do as many as you can of each movement while keeping good form. Goto exhaustion each set. However many you can do the first time, aim todo that for each set, for each move.Each set should include: pushups, shoulder dips, leg raises, anddownward facing plank.3) i managed 3 sets, with 10-12 reps eachpicking up the running after the cross training was quite hard, and i felt very fatigued. my arms were sore, and 

Friday:  (oops no miles)
