Mary’s Updated Schedule
I was in the middle of writing a super long post regarding the status of my foot when the power strip crashed, my computer turned off, and all was lost. Since I was unable to retrieve the writing after several attempts, I’m changing tunes and keeping it brief this time around.
To summarize. I ran yesterday to test out the foot injury. The only noticeable additional pain I feel is when wearing heels. BUT heels hurt yesterday, they just hurt a little more today. Walking down stairs has been fine, and didn’t hurt today either.
So here’s the plan. This is what the base plan for my marathon training should look like for the week:
Mon - OFF
Tues - 3 miles
Wed - 6 miles, paced
Thurs - 3 miles
Fri - OFF
Sat - 12 miles
Sun - crosstrain
Based on my soccer schedule, I’ve adjusted my training slightly. Were I not injured, this week’s training would look like this:
Mon - OFF
Tues - 3 miles
Wed - 6 miles, paced
Thurs - 3 miles
Fri - crosstrain (1 hour, 7v7 coed soccer)
Sat - crosstrain (90 minutes, women’s full field soccer)
Sun - 12 miles
Since I’m still testing out this injured foot, I’m going to see how it feels tonight (should be fine). If all is well, I’ll go for six miles, and then probably rest it on Thursday (regardless of how it feels) since I have soccer on Friday and Saturday, both of which are typical pretty intense.
