    Wow.... and I thought my training plan for the half marathon was a lot! Your schedule is impressive. Good work!!!

    This is my schedule now, though the marathon is next week, so I'll be changing things around now. When I say "run" I'm still doing mostly walking, with some running. My next plan is to do couch-to-5k so that I can run a whole 5k. I'm going to do 30 Day Shred 2-3 days a week, too.

    Sunday - long distance - has gradually increased 1 mile a week, maxing at 10 miles 2 weeks ago, 8 last week, only 5 this Sunday

    Monday - off

    Tuesday - Crossfit endurance training (usually rowing machine)

    Wednesday - short run - 35 - 48 minutes (including hill training)

    Thursday - Crossfit endurance training (started out with stationary bike, have been rowing the last 4 - 5 weeks)

    Friday - short run - 35 - 48 minutes (including hill training)

    Saturday - Zumba 1 hour or another short run 30 - 45 minutes

    I'm half-heartedly training for a 12k in late May.


    Sunday: Softball game; rest day once the season ends

    Monday: Weight lifting - 1 hr heavy compounds (AM), Running - 30min intervals (PM)

    Tuesday: Hill sprint drills - ~30 min or until I can't walk

    Wednesday: Weight lifting - 1 hr heavy compounds (AM), Dodgeball game (PM)

    Thursday: Running - 30-45min steady

    Friday: Weight lifting - 1 hr heavy compounds (AM), Running - 30min intervals (PM)

    Saturday: Rest, cycling or running, depending on how dead I am.


    I'm not a natural distance runner so this 12k is going to suck. After that's over I'll trade some of my running for cycling and get back on the road. Maybe add some rock climbing back in. I want to train for a 5k adventure race this summer though, like the Warrior Dash or something. Must. Get. A. Pullup. Before. Then.

    Tuesday- Circuit workout with my trainer (45-60 minutes)
    Wednesday- 60 minutes Cardio
