I got up bright and early this morning to get my feet moving on the treadmill. 6.28 miles done in 55 minutes. I read today’s devotional on my bible app while I got my run on.
After the run I stretched and got ready for work. Did a little bit of yoga in my living room to stretch. Love the bridge pose.
According to Yoga Journal, the bridge pose has lots of nice perks -
Looking back on last week I was very pleased with my mileage! I finally got to over 40 miles and am still feeling pretty good. Thanks to my BFF daily mile I was able to keep track of all of that movin’ and groovin’.
It’s definitely motivating to be able to keep track of your workouts and seeing where you can improve and/or how you felt on each run.
I love logging my weekly miles and the camaraderie of other runners on there is very encouraging. It definitely keeps me accountable from day to day.
I was a little fatigued from Saturday’s 20 miler so I took a much needed rest day yesterday. Legs felt great because of that this morning!
Here’s what I’ve got on tap with my marathon training this week -
Monday- OFF
Tuesday – 6 mile run (tempo-ish/intervals)
Wednesday – 5 miles easy + strength training
Thursday – 7 mile run + teaching dance class
Friday – OFF
Saturday – LR (recovery week) 12 miles
Do you keep track of your workouts on a site like daily mile or with pen and paper? What is your favorite stretch/yoga pose?
I use my garmin, but I upload everything back to Nike plus! Nice job on hitting 40!!
I really don’t like yoga, but if I have to pick, the pigeon pose!
Thanks girl! I have heard Nike plus is a nice tool to have!
I have never used daily mile but a ton of people like it!
You would love it! It’s a great community to be involved in!
I use MapMyRun to track my runs. Is DailyMile similar? And my favorite yoga pose is like trying to pin down my favorite song! I do like camel and crow, though.
Daily Mile is more of like a social networking site where you can interact with other runners/athletes. You can also log your miles/pace in there and it keeps track of all of the data. I use both my garmin and daily mile to keep me motivated. I think you would like it!
Sounds interesting! I’ll have to check it out.
I use my garmin. Love the bridge pose. It’s part of my after run routine!
Love bridge! It is a great post run stretch.
Great mileage! My favorite yoga pose is downward dog because I love love love the stretch that I get in my back and my legs. It’s so relaxing!! This is making me want to go to a yoga class now…
ohh yess love downward dog too. Yoga and running are the perfect combo!!
We had very similar weekly mileage!!!! I used to use Daily Mile but not anymore. I just use my Garmin and then count it out in my head while I’m running (for some reason I like doing math calculations while I’m running. GEEK!)
Very nice! Sounds like your training is going well! We will have to coordinate a meet up spot for the marathon!
Maybe after the race?
