Eugene Marathon Training Week 4

27 Jan 2020

This week, I maintained the same intensity as last week but reduced my weekly mileage slightly to make sure I recover before I ramp up mileage next week. I felt surprisingly fresh on Sunday! Maybe it was the new running shoes. Perhaps the soft, dirt trails in Discovery Park did my legs some good on Saturday. I’m savoring the feeling now, because I don’t anticipate feeling the same way a week from now. Onwards and upwards.

Monday: Yoga + core - hip flexors brutally sore from skiing
Tuesday: 4.5 miles easy on the treadmill
Wednesday: 5.5 miles (1.5 mile warmup, 5 x 800 between 7 and 7:30 pace with 2 min rest, 1.5 mile cooldown) + strength work
Thursday: 7 miles easy + core
Friday: Rest
Saturday: 3.7 mile easy trail run with Oiselle at Discovery Park
Sunday: 7 miles (1 mile warmup, 5 miles hard at 7:40 - 7:45 pace, 1 mile cooldown) + core

Total Mileage: 27.8
