Marathon Training Log: Week 3 - Rebound
This was a MUCH better week. Blisters have mostly healed, and although a few new ones started, none with the the pain associated with the early ones. Before every run I'm putting Vaseline over my entire foot, then using Nylon-based socks, and am tying my shoes differently. That combined with my feet toughening up seems to be keeping things good.
Training Schedule: M 7mi, T 3x1mi fast, W off Th 6mi fast, F 7mi, Sat 7mi, Sun 10mi slow Total: 40mi
What I did: M 7mi, T 3x1mi, W off, Th 6mi, F 7mi, Sat 7.1m, Sun 9mi slow (1mi walk) Total: 39.1mi (1mi walk)
So overall. I kept to the program except for the long run. Not having done the 8mi run last week, I didn't want to push it this week.
My weight is slowly dropping, I'm now 191. My body is using up a huge amount of water on these runs, and I am drinking large amounts of water or sports drinks throughout the day. Had a physical last week and my blood work was done showing that all my electrolytes are in the upper normal range so that is good. Blood pressure was 124/68 and my resting heart rate was 64. I'm feeling healthy right now.
