Here are my training logs from upcoming & past races, to get a glimpse into how I run!

My training is based off a combination of what has worked for me from collegiate running, online research, and my own experience into what makes me feel best! I am in no means an expert or coach.

Boston Marathon; 4/16/12; 3:09:28

• Training log
• This was probably my best training cycle to date, credited to a bit more experience under my belt and a very mild NYC winter! Workouts were going better than ever, and I felt strong. I was confident in my abilities to break 3:00 at Boston! Unfortunately, Mother Nature had a different plan for Marathon Monday with 85+ degree temperatures. Instead, I ran to enjoy the race– pleased with my time, all things considered, and absolutely loved the atmosphere in Boston.

NYC Marathon; 11/6/11; 3:03:37

• Training log
• My goal for this race was to break 3:00. While I was a bit disappointed that I missed the mark, I still set a PR by about a minute! This training cycle, I added in regular workouts with the CPTC team and tried upping the mileage a bit from my 2010 marathon training.

NYC Half-Marathon; 3/20/11; 1:24:23

• Training log
  • This was my second half-marathon ever, and I PR’ed by over 5 minutes! (2010 NYC Half-Marathon was 1:29:35, I didn’t keep a training log, sadly) To get used to running a bit quicker, I tried to incorporate one speed/interval/tempo run per week around my goal race pace, which I think really helped lead to my PR, as well as above-distance long runs of 14-16 miles.

NYC Marathon; 11/7/10; 3:04:32

• Training log
  • This was my first marathon, so mapping out this training on my own was a lot of guess work! Basically, I plotted out my goal miles to hit for the week, the distance of a planned long run each week, and built my schedule around that. I tried to take one day off per week…sometimes more, sometimes less. This log also includes my race splits at the bottom.
