My Training Plan (it's possible it will all change)

Okay, I know I promised I'd discuss cross training  activities soon, and I will go into more detail on those next post. This post I want to detail my personalized training plan  and discuss some of the choices I've made. Again, to be clear, I am in no way certified to make up training plans, but  I did do a lot of research into different plans before smoothing this one out. As previously stated, I started from ground zero. My plan picks up after those initial two months of getting back into starting running shape (e.g., comfortable 5k). The  race I'm training for is on December 9th, and I started my "official" training on July 1st (well, June 25th because I  couldn't start mid week). Because my long runs are on Sunday, and I like to think of  it as the end cap of my training week (plus the actual race is on a Sunday) my plan is structured Monday-Sunday.  As previously stated, I have three runs per week. I have the Staple of Marathon Training  ...

Cross Training (Or: trying to prevent injury)

Okay, so I promised to talk about my cross training. Now, after finishing my Monday yoga/stretch, seems like a good time. Yesterday I ran 10 miles for my long run, and it felt pretty good! The first 7 felt easy, but the last mile was rough; every part of my legs/knees/hips were just aching by then from an hour and half of constant pavement pounding. After a few recovery techniques  (which I will discuss in a later post),  and a couple of hours, my legs were already feeling better.  Today, they feel a little heavy, but  otherwise great! I'm certain it's because  I have been working hard to remain consistent with my cross training activities. As I stated before, in past training, I have had serious knee pain. In the final long run of half marathon training last year I even had glute pain that had me questioning if I could make the run or not. I'm sure there are two main culprits- my partner and I did not  keep up with our cross training as runs increased, a...

In the beginning (Can I really run a FULL Marathon?)

Hello! I'm Cass, and it's my first time training to run a full (26.2 mile) marathon. I'm not a running coach, or a certified trainer in any way, so let's just get that out there. I have no qualifications (aside from the ability to read and synthesize the information in scientific articles and over-consume other running blogs on a regular basis) for telling anybody how to train. However, if you're here you're probably like me - you want to know How , Why, When, and with What  other people (but especially women) have been training. With that being said, I'm going to be updating this blog with my personal  training information. I'm not especially athletic, I never ran in high school, and I'm tackling this without a trainer or coach. While I have previously been a fan of the  Popsugar training , and have heard a lot of good things about the  Hal Higdon Method  of training (who hasn't heard good things?) I decided to make my own training based on kn...
