What Does Your Running Schedule Look Like?

Training for my first marathon...
I run 6 days a week, varied distances up to 8 miles during the week. A mid range run on Saturday (6-10) and a long run on Sunday (8-15). Trying to get my base mileage up over 50 per week.
Goal for the first marathon is to finish around 4:30. (training for a 3:45 pace, but know that will probably be a bit slower due to lack of experience)0 -
Good luck to all of you in your upcoming races!0

My typical week:
Saturday: Long Run (11-12 miles, around 9:00-9:15 per mile)
Sunday: Short Easy Run (3-4 miles, 9:00-9:15 per mile)
Monday: No run, just cross-train
Tuesday: Speed Work (tonite, for example, is intervals. 6 miles total: 1 mile warm-up, 3x 1600 @ 7:16 with 800 jog, cool-down)
Wednesday: Boot Camp
Thursday: Easy Run (usually around 4.5-5 miles)
Friday: Rest
All for this schedule:
9/15 - USAF Half-Marathon, Wright-Patt AFB, Dayton, OH
10/27 - Spinx Runfest, Go Greenville Half-Marathon, Greenville, SC
11/23 - Spacecoast Half-Marathon, Cocoa, FL
2/25 - Melbourne Half-Marathon Relay, Melbourne, FL
And I'll probably fit another race in there somewhere.0 -
I'm doing an Insanity + half marathon training schedule. My easy run distances increase every two weeks, my long runs increase every week. (With tapering on the 12th week.)
This week (week 3 of running, start of month 2 of Insanity)
Monday: Insanity/ no run
Tuesday: Insanity/ easy run - currently 3.5
Wednesday: Insanity/ interval/speed training
Thursday: Insanity/ easy run - currently 3.5
Friday: Insanity/ no run
Saturday: Insanity/ long run - currently 6 miles
Sunday: ****REST DAY****
I take my rest day seriously.0 -
I finished C25K in Feb/March. I run 3 times a week:
Tuesday: 4-5 miles
Thursday: 4-5 miles
Saturday: Longer run - longest is 6.5 miles, shooting for 7 this weekend I think.
Had my best run today - 5 miles in 52:42 (10.5 per mile). Really pushed the first 3 miles and got it under 30 min, slowed down a little towards the end. Big hill I had to walk a little on.
Mon, Wed and Fri I do Kettlebell workouts and sometimes Sundays.
Edit: Forgot goals. Increase pace, and I also want to do a half-marathon at some point. Thinking about this fall, but I may wait a little longer. Not sure if I am ready to spend more than and hour and a half running on Saturdays.0 -
I have sort of underwhelming knees, so I do a lot of cross-training. I'm also trying to challenge myself this month by doing a lot to boost my fitness so I can do well for my 2 half-marathons I want to run in the fall. So right now it's:
Sun: Long run (6-12 miles)
Mon: Cross train (bike 8-12 miles); 30 day shred
Tues: Easy run (3 miles); 30 day shred
Wed: Cross train or run; 30 day shred
Thurs: 5-6 miles tempo/interval; 30 day shred
Fri: Cross train (12-15 miles biking); 30 day shred
Sat: 30 day shred
This is enough variation that I don't get bored, nothing gets too stressed, and I get to work different muscle groups almost daily. I'm also running when I get off work at 4:30 so I can get used to the heat before it's too late. I used to run and do nothing else, but mixing in whole body workouts and biking has helped my knees a lot, and building more core muscles helps stabilize my legs so I can run better. It all works together to boost my running skills0 -
Hey, guys! I recently finished C25K and ran my first 5k last weekend, and I'm running another one this coming weekend. I'm just curious how often people run and how far? Since completing C25K, I run every other day and I'm up to 5 miles. My goal is to be able to run a 10k and eventually a mini!
So, just out of curiosity, what does your running schedule look like and what are your running goals? And, if you have any tips or advice for a new runner, please share!
I would like to start c25k but i don't have an iphone hence an app. Can I still do it, if so how? Help.0 -
I'm new to running...started c25K back in march.
I run on Tuesday, thursday and Saturday, I have a 4 runs that I rotate
1. 4 miles...this trail has a hill at least every mile
2. 3 miles flat...i run top speed for 1/10 mile then, regular pace for 2/10 mile
3. 4 miles...not quite as hilly as day 1
4. 3 miles, regular pace, on the route the my first actually 5k race will be
I would like to start c25k, where can I find the training schedule? I don't have an iphone hence no app. Please help.
I also ride my bike or swim after I run
and on M-W-F I do heavy lifting and the elliptical machine, or swim
don't know if this is a good plan, but it works for me....back when I started c35K, i could even do the 60 sec run...and now my best time on the 3 mile was 31 min 30 sec0 -

If you google something like "beginners run-walk program" or something like that you'll hit some similar training programs (like this: http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-238-520--9397-F,00.html) - you'll just need a watch to time your intervals.0 -
