I officially have six weeks until my coach's first training phase begins! On April 1st, I'll be starting a 6 week Intro to Running phase, which will be followed by a 6 week base phase, and then conclude with a 12 week race prep phase for the DRC Half in November. I'm so excited to finally have a plan and a goal!
The tricky part is going to be staying patient. If I want to train consistently beginning April 1st, it's going to be crucial that I take good caution with my foot over these last weeks of cross training and strength building. I'll also need to step up my training a notch, as he has included 60 to 90 minute cardio cross training sessions with every run (I'm not even doing that much without the running!!).
Here's to getting another solid week of work in the tank!
