Hello all and yes I’m back. I
survived the 9 day cleanse and had an awesome first week of marathon
training. In today’s post I will recap my Cleanse and share how my
first week of training went. So here we go…
The Cleanse: I completed my full 9 day
cleanse. I must say I’ve never done a cleanse before but I’m
very happy with the results. I feel heathier and happier. One
thing that I learned while completing the cleanse is that on cleanse
days I’m able to eat a hard boiled egg for a snack. That was a
revelation on my last 2 cleanse days and really saved me. I was so
grateful for those eggs…
Bottom line results.. I lost 10 pounds!! I’m excited about that
because 165 lbs is a great weight for me for marathon running. Stay
tuned for pics to follow.
Last week was the
official kick off to my marathon training cycle for the Jacksonville
marathon. I must say I feel super confident and ready for this race.
Here’s my week’s workout results.
Monday 9/9/13: Lactate threshold run.
8 miles with 4 miles at Threshold pace. This was a tough run however
outside of the long run threshold runs are the most important part of
a marathon training cycle. I ran my threshold miles at about a 7:55
pace which is good, for now. That needs to go down to 7:40 or so as
my training and fitness increase. Recovery drink was an Isalean Pro chocolate shake. It was a great start to the week.
Tuesday 9/10/13: 12 mile ride. Cross
training. Love it!! Recovery drink was an Isalean Pro Vanilla shake. Note to self don’t try to video tape your ride
by holding the camera in your hand while riding; it doesn't turn
out that well… I did
however find a great video on youtube that explains how to create
your own camera mount for your bike. Yes!!
Wednesday 9/11/13: 9 mile General
Aerobic Run. This run is done at about 15-25% slower than goal
marathon pace. Felt great and I enjoyed it. Recovery drink was Isalean Pro chocolate shake
Thursday 9/12/13: 4 mile Recovery.
Recovery runs are done at about 76% of maximal heart rate. Love my
recovery runs because they get me ready for my tough workouts during
the week.
Friday 9/13/13: Rest
Saturday 9/14/13: 12 Medium Long Run
through my neighborhood. MLR’s are done at about 10-20% slower
than goal marathon pace. This was a great start for my long runs.
Solid effort. Ran the second half of this at a 9 min pace. Recovery drink was one Isalean Pro chocolate shake and 1 Isalean chocolate shake. Yup I doubled up... :)
So all in all I had an exciting week of
training and I feel good!! How about you? How’s your training
going so far and what’s your next race??
This is TY signing off. As always allow
the Universe to work in your favor and be blessed…
