Marathon Training week 5 run 1

Posted by Husar on Jul 19, 2011 in | 0 comments

I set out on my first run of the week and the temperature was 94 degrees. This was at 8:30 at night! The heat is just brutal in the Midwest right now. It is certainly effecting my runs. The amount of water I lose on a run is just crazy. I don’t ever remember sweating as much as I have been lately. That is a good thing and the heat doesn’t really bother me that much other than the...

We are in a heat advisory so I knew it was going to be a hard run. I woke up earlier that my usual Saturday. Unfortunately it was raining out so I slept in a little longer.

I fully hydrated myself and set out on my way. Before the run I...

Marathon Training: Week 4 Day 2

I forgot how important it is to wear the right shirt when running. The day after my first 6 miles in a long time my nipple are raw. Ouch! The first week into my marathon training and things are going as expected. Yesterday’s 6 miles was a good test for me mentally. I walked maybe 30 yards of it. I was tired for the most part but I finished in my range of 10 minute mile average. Legs...
