Training for Endurance

Disclosure: This post may contain referral/affiliate links.

Endurance

Pretty good week! Everything I am doing is helping me train for endurance.  Feels like things are coming along though I would have liked to have done more but I think the workouts I did were good.  I’m exhausted that is for sure.  I really want to add in at least one more day of walking during the week so that I am totally prepared to walk the 1/2 marathon.  My calves, hips and everything else is in quite a bit of pain so hopefully by the time the race I’m used to all the walking and can make it through without a whole ton of issues.  Anyway, here is what I did this week.

Monday-

*Spin class
Time: 1 hr

Tuesday-

*Personal training
Time: 30 min.

*Pilates
Time: 1 hr

Wednesday-

*Spin class
Time: 1 hr

Thursday- Day off

Friday-

*Personal training
Time: 30 min.

*Treadmill
Time: 30 min.

I did run/walk today and felt pretty good.  I’m not giving up on running but I still think we’ll be walking the 1/2 marathon.  It’s actually hurting worse to do the fast walking so who knows what will come of everything!

Saturday-

*Walk outside
Time: 1 hr 13 min.
Miles: 3.98

Sunday-

*Spin class
Time: 1 hr

*Walk outside
Time: 26:40 min.
Miles: 1.31

We walked just over a mile today as it seemed like it was going to start raining.  Should have kept walking but came home and napped. Sure needed it!

How was your week?

    Hi Angie!

    Your exercise acitivty exceeds mine many times over! I hope you remember to warm-up and stretch, it might help with the pains.

    I intend to focus on increasing my daily physical activity + building strength for the next three months.

      Yes, I do warm up and stretch when I remember to YIKES! Thanks for the reminder. Good goals you’re setting for yourself.

    My training hard in martial arts surely strength and lengthen my endurance against pain… training means conditioning the body making as well as the mind.

      Martial arts sounds like great training. I have definitely found that it’s just as important to condition the mind as well as the body for this race. Thanks!

    Hi Angie,
    Just found your site, and wow, what an inspiration! I, too, lost about 100 pounds, but I did so as a teenager, when I had fewer responsibilities (and therefore, the weight loss was probably easier)! Congrats.

    Glad to hear you’re making progress in the half marathon training, too–just something anecdotal, I ended up walking one of my marathons (was in a car accident shortly before) and I agree that walking can generate more aches/pains than running, sometimes! For me, I ended up spending more time on my feet than I would have running, and my feet weren’t ready for that. Just something to keep in mind, in case you end up walking the whole thing.

    Good luck to you! 🙂

      Brooke,
      I apologize for the delay in replying. So glad you stopped by the blog and I look forward to checking yours out for sure. The walking is definitely MUCH harder than the running in some aspects. We have made it to just over 6 miles in our training and I felt great that day so this weekend we’ll try that again and then go up from there. As long as I can hit 10 miles before we leave for Jamaica and the 1/2 I should be good to go.
