None to Run: Week 6 Wrap-Up
Wrapping up Week 6 of running training. This is awesome, you should try it =)
Week 6 is history, baby!
I'm halfway done. I can't believe it. Coach Mark, if you're reading this, please know you're the only person in this world that has made me workout for this long, this consistently, and still want to keep on going (at least from the age of 17).
Below are my Week 6 Stats:
Week 6 Day 1
Misgiving galore, but I surprised myself. Again.
Week 6 Day 2
This was a rough, rough, rough run. Some of personal notes in my training planner:
"All I can say is that running on carbs and sugar SUCKS!!! It's terrible. My body feels heavy, my focus is all over the place, and It just didn't feel great overall."
Week 6 Day 3
This was a pretty good one.
There were some new stuff too:
- My belly started hurting: Is it gas or #2? (Gas lol)
- My breathing was better. I think I had a breakthrough.
- Three grandpas are cheering me on now: My father-in-law, our next door neighbor Mike, and Indian grandpa four houses down.
Final Thoughts
I'm halfway done with the program.
Am I proud of myself? Heck yeah.
This is the push I needed to get everything back on track.
But is also shows that not everything has to be perfect. Keep on going and do what you can.
Week 7 Prep
I'm taking two days rest (instead of one) to prep for Week 7.
It's a 2-minute run with 30 second rests.
That's a lot.
But by rest I mean light cycling and walking in the mean time. Hopefully this will help keep my muscles nice and "warm."
