Running Blog: Week 6

I am following a Hal Higden, 11 week Novice 2 training schedule. The weekday runs usually go as follows:

·      Monday: rest

·      Tuesday: 3 mi

·      Wednesday: 4 mi

·      Thursday: 3 mi

·      Friday: rest

·      Saturday: long run, each weekend run increases in mileage until running 12 miles the weekend before the race

·      Sunday: cross training

As I get closer to the marathon date, the 3, 4, 3 miles runs during the week turn into 3, 5, 3 miles and 2, 3, 2 miles the week before the race.

My body feels a lot stronger now, and my mile time has decreased. However, as a result of my training, I am hungry ALL THE TIME. I am really trying not to snack but it is so hard!
