Country Road Runner

I have now completed 7 days of training with The Run Experience (https://therunexperience.com/). It has been a difficult adjustment going from 5 days of running to 3 days of running with 2 days of strength and 1 day of cross-training. I have also been training for ten weeks and The Run Experience (TRE) is a marathon training plan with a sixteen week plan. So, for this 1st week weekend, TRE had minimal hours of running and with my original training plan I was on eighteen miles for Saturday and an hour on Sunday.

Well, this weekend was a bust. I was only able to get out 11 miles on Saturday and 12 miles on Sunday. Whether it was the heat/humidity, fueling or the faster pace of the running partner, adjustments will need to be made. We will see what this next week brings as I continue to learn the TRE plan.

I am writing this late as I am still figuring out this whole blog editing thing. With the help of my daughter, I am further along than I would be otherwise.

As I have shared with many people, I have a goal of running a 50k and I have chosen the Big Hill Pond Walking Tall 50k in Pocahontas, Tennessee this October. I have joined The Running Experience and I am following their Advanced Marathon Training program to help me reach my goal.

More to come as I get more accustomed to sharing my activities and pictures to go with them.
