I am making steady progress! Today, I achieved my goal to run 8 miles – actually logging 8.2 miles at the gym. I felt strong and was pleased with my aerobic endurance and efficiency. Now I need to focus on building my strength and speed. In previous training, I never ran more than 10 miles for my long runs. Since I do all of my training on a treadmill, it is difficult for me to stay focused for 10 miles!
Tomorrow will be a cross-training day. Plan to do biking and some core training. I really have neglected my core training. In the past, I would be able to easily knock out 300+ crunches but I'm not sure I could do 100 at this point. So, core training definitely needs my attention.
Once the work week starts, I hope to get to the gym at least 3 nights during the week. That all depends on the weather, as they are predicting yet another snowstorm this week – enough already with the snow this winter!
Happy trails everyone…
John
