As I mentioned yesterday, I start training today for the Susan G. Komen 10k Chicago in September. The seven-week training program I am following builds your ability to run longer and farther by mixing up distance and time goals. I’m using CardioTrainer to track my progress.
The full training program is available to anyone. Earlier this summer, I made it through week 4 before the summer got too busy for me to keep up with it. My workout plan has me running Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. I am hoping to build in yoga for additional stretching and I’ll also be taking some classes at Exhale Spa (despite how sore I get after the class. I’m currently on day 3 after a class on Friday and I’m still super sore!). On top of this, I’ll still be doing my chiropractic exercises each night, which usually takes about an hour to complete.
Schedule for Week 1:
Monday – Run 25 minutes
Tuesday – Run 2 miles
Wednesday – Off
Thursday – Run 30 minutes
Friday – Off
Saturday – Run 3 miles
Sunday – Off
Wish me luck that I will get my training started on the right foot.
