So I've decided to do a condensed version of a 10km training. The last month I have been running 5ks so I really need to up my distance. I also remember last year that the only time a 5k run felt easy was after I started training for 10!

This training program is designed around my likes and my schedule. I'm going to Maine at the beginning of May for my graduation ceremony which is why I took a Friday and Saturday off in a row. I'm really hoping to keep up my strength training while running this summer. The program I followed last year when training for my 10k was one I found online that did not have any scheduled time for strength or cross training, and I really regret not sticking with it!
Do you make up your own training schedule or stick to a plan you got somewhere else?
I'm REALLY bad at sticking to a schedule, and I usually run whenever the mood strikes me, typically every other day. I run whatever distance I feel like running that day. It seems to be working so far... although I really need to find something to do for cross training. I miss all the great programs in Halifax. It was so easy to find a class or a group... not so much here in this part of PEI.
ReplyDeleteI think for me the problem with that is that I don't often feel like running haha. I usually only enjoy it once I'm out and doing it, but getting out the door is a challenge for me. I'm actually planning on doing Yoga at home using youtube videos... maybe that's a way you can do some programs at home? Circuits are also a good way to get some strength in without needing much equipment.
ReplyDeleteSo far I've found that a flexible schedule works best for me. I have one hard rule of "no skipping the weekend long runs" and then other than that, I try my best. I try not to miss out on more than one scheduled run each week, but I am pretty relaxed about what days I actually end up running.
ReplyDeleteThis was especially true in the winter when the weather was awful! Good luck :)
Just registered for the Blue Nose 10k! Yay! I better get running...
