March 2nd: I ran an .50 mile warm up on the treadmill in 4:30, a 9:00 minute pace, then did a 17:26 leg intensive HIIT, then finished with a 0.50 mile run on the track for a cool down in 4:00 minutes, an 8:00 minute pace!
March 8th: I ran 3.01 miles around campus in 27:41 (a 9:07 pace), then I did a HIIT workout for 11:02.
March 9th: I ran 2.00 miles on the track in 16:05 (an 8:03 pace), then did a HIIT workout for 10:00.
March 10th: I didn't have much time today, so I only ran 1.10 miles on the treadmill in 9:42, then did a 9:32 HIIT workout.
March 12th: Today was a big run day. I ran 7.01 miles on campus in 1:05:53 (a 9:42 pace), then I walked/ran another mile to get to 8 total in 13:48. These two times together still were less than my 8 mile run last year! Check out my route here. I was super proud because I ran the whole 7 miles!
March 17th: We were on vacation and I really needed a 10 mile run here. However, I had not run for 5 days! And...we were on vacation...so I ran 9.01 miles instead in 1:34:29 (a 10:29 pace). I just couldn't get in to the run. I walked several times too. I did my "sorta" best and stuck it out for at least 9 miles and got the run in. You can view my Florida vacation route here.
March 19th: Azalea Trail Run *Separate post*
March 21st: Today was more of a recovery run from the weekend. I ran 1.50 miles on the treadmill in 13:24 (an 8:52 pace), then I did a HIIT workout for 10:02.
March 24th: Today was another short run of just 2.00 miles outside in 17:54 (a pace of 8:56), then I did a HIIT workout for 11:03.
March 25th: Today was a big day. It was my 11 mile run day. This was a pivotal day as it would make or break my half marathon. I rally should do a 12 mile run, but I just didn't have the time...again! Here is my route for this run. I ran 11 miles in 1:54:33, a pace of 10:25. I was super proud of this run! I only walked twice and still had a pretty good time! I was even ahead of my 11 mile run from last year. Check it out! I was at least 6 minutes faster than last year. My goal was to do the half in 2:30:00. Last year I did it in 2:31:52, not too far off! At this pace I was bound to beat it...but would I be able to possibly do my secondary goal of 2:15:00.
March 29th: This week is the week of the half, so shorter runs will be all I do. Today I did a 3.20 mile run on campus in 29:00 (a 9:03 pace), then dis a short 5:02 HIIT workout.
March 31st: Today I ran 2.52 miles on campus in 22:36 (an 8:58 pace), then did a HIIT for 8:11. I am super pumped for the half in just 2 days!
Here's to the next workout! Until then...
April
