2022 NYC Marathon Training: Week 7
“Comparison is the thief of Joy” My mileage has been lower than expected but I’m able to stay consistent in the 40 miles per week range. It’s easy to look back and see where my training was a year ago to 2 years ago when I first joined Train Pegasus. My one mantra this whole […]
2022 NYC Marathon Training: Week 6
The soreness in my right leg was pretty bad to start the week. It was another tough week, but I stayed consistent with another 40-mile week. I skipped the track workout on Tuesday and took it easy. I couldn’t get my sports massage scheduled for Friday so another rest day was the best I could […]
2022 NYC Marathon Training: Week 5
Another travel weekend = another week of wishful thinking. Thought I would get back on track by doing my long run on Thursday, but slight pain in my right knee slowed those plans down. I took the rest of the week off so I could strengthen my right leg to help alleviate the knee pain. […]
2022 NYC Marathon Training: Week 4
I was optimistic about my mileage goal this week. I wanted another 60+ mile week before taking another down week. But a trip to Cancun for a destination wedding put a wrinkle on training. I was committed to running on the treadmill in the resort gym, even for the long run. Alas, that was wishful […]
2022 NYC Marathon Training: Week 3
Capped off week 3 with 61 miles and a 40-mile ride (first ride in 3 months…). I’m still learning and figuring out how to best outline my training. It might be more helpful to comment on each run specifically below and keep the intro more generalized. I always have a lot to say and I […]
2022 NYC Marathon Training: Week 2
For week two, the same difficulties at work persisted. I have problems with time management most of the time, but I won’t bore you with work details. With 60 total miles, week 2 saw a solid increase in volume. After my Wednesday interval workout, my body felt exhausted (5 x 1K on the Katy Trail). […]
2022 NYC Marathon Training: Week 1
51 miles for week 1 fell short of my expectations, but I’m not wholly disappointed. A busy work week was affecting my sleep. There are no excuses because the summer heat will not let up anytime soon. To be consistent, I must maintain my discipline and attack my morning runs. I eased into my training […]
