Week One - Marathon training begins

Ok, I have bit the bullet. I am starting to train for a marathon. I thought I would never say this, but I am actually looking forward to it. My first job it to find the marathon to run. The training plan I am following puts the marathon out about 16 weeks. I figured for an extra month, as I can slack a bit too often. That puts December as the timeframe for the run. I will start looking for a race post-haste.

So begins week one of training. This week is planned to look like the following.

  • Monday - 3 miles
  • Tuesday - 4 miles
  • Thursday - 3 miles
  • Saturday - 5 miles
Today I ran 3.5 miles (only 3 was running, the other was warmup/cooldown) in 45 minutes.

Stats:
AHR/PHR - 145/179
Warmup/Mile 1 - 13:02
Mile 2 - 12:20
Mile 3 - 11:51
Remainder of 3 - 1:02
Cooldown - 8:49
Weight - 187
