Week #1

You all know that I'm now training for the Go! St. Louis Marathon. My training officially started TODAY! I've decided to post my weekly training schedule on here, both for my own accountability and for anyone who wants to use it to train for a marathon. My plan is when I post the next week, to go through and note my successes and failures ('cause I'm sure there will be some) of the previous week. I'm also going to be posting my weekly goals.

I'm training at a Level 2 which is for those that have been exercising three to four times a week and plan to run or run/walk the the race. If anyone is interested in having me post the schedules for Level 1 (little to no exercise/week) or Level 3 (exercising 4 or more times/week and plan to run the race) let me know!

Here it goes:

11/8: 3 miles
1/9: Rest Day
11/10: 2-3 miles
11/11: Rest Day
11/12: 3 miles
11/13: Rest Day
11/14: 3 miles

Total miles: 11-12miles

*Note - I am currently training for a half marathon on 12/5 so I am actually running more than this mileage but am just posting the full training schedule for consistancy.

Weekly goal: Work on nutrition by brining my lunch to the office everyday. This will keep me from being tempted to order an unhealthy option and as an added bonus will save me anywhere from $50-$75!!!
