Tonight’s post is a quick one! I want to check in with you all regarding this week’s workout and training plan in addition to sharing a giveaway winner! I really am so thankful that Jes started this great tradition last year over on her blog as I love posting my workouts on here each week. It helps keep me accountable and plan the week out in advance which is something I rarely did before!
Let’s kick it off with the workouts first! I’m excited to finally have a full week in New York City that doesn’t include any travel or out of town guests. This week is all about focusing on half marathon pace during my runs and enjoying my workouts early each day. I know that this week and next week will include many late nights at work and therefore I’m doing my best to squeeze in morning workouts and then if I’m able to leave work in time I’ll enjoy a few evening workouts as social events.
I’m hoping to make it to Lululemon Run Club on Wednesday where Jes will lead us through 400 repeats and then finally try Revolve with the Fitmapped Ambassadors!
This week’s long run will be a good mental test in advance of my half marathon in 2 weeks. Liz, Marcial, and I are going to head up to Central Park Saturday morning to do one full loop of the park and then the lower loop. Gia has some good goals in place regarding my pace that will help us figure out where we should target my goal pace on half marathon day. She seems to think that I have something far faster in me than I think I can hold for 13.1 miles but we’ll see how Saturday goes!
Next, it’s time to announce a winner of the Dasani Drops giveaway! You guys are certainly excited about a bike, that’s for sure! The lucky winner is #27, Emily, who blogs over at Sinful Nutrition! Congratulations! Please email me your mailing address so I can share it with Dasani!
What fun workouts are you excited about this week? If you’re in NYC or DC, have you tried Revolve? Thoughts?
I 100% agree with Gia on this one! I also think that you have something far faster in you than you think you can hold for 13.1! You’ve become such a strong/fast runner and I’m so proud of you. Teach me everything you know 😉 Can’t wait to cheer for you in a few weeks 🙂
How exciting to play with your pace! I have been wanting to figure out my goal HMP for my race in 12 weeks, but I think it is too early in training to really have a good idea. I’m curious to hear how many runs you have planned at your HMP and what’s the longest you plan to run at HMP? I have heard some say that 5 is a good max, it just sounds like less than I would think.
I did a great 6am Body Pump class this morning, and I’m also looking forward to my personal training session on Thursday…it’s always something different, from boxing to bootcamp!
Based on your paces for your short runs, I think you have a faster HM in you. I train using Matt Fitzgerald plans, and he has you do some REALLY slow running along with the faster stuff. So your easy is way faster than my easy right now, and I’m training for a 1.55!
I’ve tried revolve and I really like it! Highly recommend rip ride with Kira. I love these weekly workout posts they remind my to be organized and plan my own workouts plus they give me ideas for my own schedule ! Your speediness has definitely been a motivator too – so impressed. Congrats!
Can’t wait to hear how you like Revolve!
And I bet Gia is right! You looked fast Wednesday night!
