The Plan - Week Three

So, here it is. Week three of the boring running plan.

Week 3
Monday- Rest
Tuesday - Run 2.25 miles easy.
Wednesday - Run 2 miles easy.
Thursday - Rest or cross train.
Friday - Run 2 miles easy.
Saturday - Run 2.5 miles easy. You make a .25 mile increase today.
Sunday - Run 3 miles easy. You make another increase in mileage here. You are running almost a full 5K distance here. A 5K is 3.1 miles. Keep your pace nice and easy. You can work on speed in future races.


This last week was hard. I did two of my runs outside and it was humid. Holy Moly it is hard to run in humid weather. I was sweating, but not cooling off at all. And the breathing? I felt like I did when I first started this adventure. Then yesterday I ran at the gym - controlled temperature and controlled humidity is good.

Anyway - here we go some more...

All right, already! I'll do it. I'll try your boring running plan too! ;)

I did the Couch to 5K plan last year and it was good but once I was finished with the plan, and the race it was preparing me for, I didn't continue running. (Yes, I feel shame.)

You're doing an awesome job. Have you experienced the runner's high yet? I still remember when I had mine. I happened to be outside and it was when I was training for a half marathon I had signed up to do, and it came on me and honestly, it was awesome and made me feel like I could run forever. Keep up the good work. You're my inspiration. :)
