Took a week off after my longest run ever on Saturday the 18th. I did 16 miles; ran 4 miles at a jog, 4 miles as a harder pace (10:30/mile for me), and repeated it twice. It was a grest run by my feet were killing me after. Got major blisters since I was wearing (the wrong) new shoes.
Started back up yesterday morning. Did 6 miles and then 6x 100m sprints. Tomorrow I'll do 7 miles and then Saturday I'll do another long run. Not sure what I'll do since my running coach was injured and hasn't prescribed me workouts this week.
My race is the Chevron Houston Marathon in January, but I'm only running the half. My first race ever.
