Week 1 - Back To Work!

After 3 weeks of rest after the Amtrak Century, I'm back! and this time I'm training for the marathon. It is my hope that in completing the distances of a full distance Iron Man (2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike , 26.2 mile run) I will one day achieve my goal of competing in one.

In this blog I will log my mileage and workouts as I train for the Orange County Marathon.

For the next couple of weeks I will be establishing a "base" or in cross country terms, "filling the tank" or "making deposits in the bank" (a race being the withdrawal). I will build my base to about 1000 miles before laying on the harder anaerobic workouts which will help me work on speed and endurance.

Sunday - off
Monday - 4 miles @7:30 pace
Tuesday - off
Wednesday - 4 miles @7:30 pace
Thursday - 4 miles @7:30 pace
Friday - 4 miles @7:30 pace
Saturday - Biked 45 miles

Total mileage - 16 running miles / 45 bike miles
