Come along while I train for my 48th marathon, the Dingle marathon in Dingle, Ireland on September 6th!
Here’s how training (and life in London) went this past week:
Monday: Fartlek workout, 7 miles total
I tested out the Bandit Stamina top; it is very supportive and has multiple pockets (big enough to fit a phone!) 5 stars!
Tuesday: Rest from running, personal training session at Nordic Balance. Great session! Enjoying the personal training so far.
That evening, met up with some friends to see a play about the “Wagatha Christie” drama between Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy. It’s a wild story that wasn’t covered much in the US, but I’ve caught up via documentaries about it. Crazy!
Wednesday: Easy 7 mile run with friends before work for Global Running Day! Celebrating my favourite hobby.
In fact, I ended up joining an office 5k over lunch to keep the celebration going! Super easy pace.
Heartcore pilates after work. Triple workout day…
Thursday: Second “session” of the week, 2 x 15 minutes at marathon effort. 7 miles total. Not great, but not terrible. Strength session at home after work.
Friday: 6.5 mile easy run, sports massage over lunch, still fit in a full day of work.
Saturday: 14 mile long run, easy pace. Longest long run since Paris! Great group of Mornington Chasers.
Dustin had been in Minnesota for the week (getting our house ready to put on the market.) He returned Saturday, which was lovely. Ruth and I missed him! He was pretty jet lagged, so we had a low-key Saturday night.
Sunday: 7.5 mile run with Ruth and Dustin followed by Pilates at Heartcore.
Summary: 52 miles of running, 1 personal training session, 2 pilates classes, 1 strength session at home
It’s going to be a busy week ahead- Beyonce on Tuesday at Tottenham stadium, and then my mother-in-law arrives for a week-long visit; her first time visiting us since we moved here about 3 years ago! (Not her first time in London though.)
That’s a wrap! I’m linking up with Running on the Fly and Confessions of a Mother Runner; check out their blogs to connect with other fitness bloggers for workout ideas and inspiration!
