After I chickened out and did the elliptical trainer yesterday, I decided I needed to review my current training plan and perhaps adjust a few things.
Here are the problems I’ve been encountering so far:
- Running too many days a week (could lead to mental burnout)
- Saturdays have not been good for long runs due to snow
- Yoga keeps getting pushed back
- I want/need to do more strength training
- Need a true core workout, more than just a set of crunches here or there
So, I took a look at my training page and made some adjustments for next week. (This still won’t be a typical week since I have a race next Saturday)
Week 11 (Feb 7 – 13)
Sunday – Core workout (at home)
Monday – Run 5-6 miles
Tuesday – Weight training
Wednesday – Yoga
Thursday – Run 5 miles
Friday – Weight training
Saturday – Run Snowman Shuffle race (4 miles)
That looks a lot better 
I think I may just have to take it week by week but these adjustments are necessary and hopefully I will still get a good amount of training in and be ready for the mini marathon on April 24th!
Mine has to be week by week!
Hopefully to see you tomorrow for power yoga!
