#FitReaders is hosted by Geeky Bloggers Book Blog and That’s What I’m Talking About
I finally started my training walks for the upcoming marathon. I started the week out strong with a nice 3+ mile walk, though, and then lost my motivation for a bit. I was super tired this week and think I might actually be coming down with a cold. But, I did at least move each day, so while I didn’t get any other big walks in, I did do some indoor walks, which is better than nothing. Hopefully this cold doesn’t turn into anything major and is gone in a few days.
Here’s how my week went:
Jun 27: 5,636 steps
Jun 28: 6,510 steps
Jun 29: 3.85 miles fitness walk (just under an hour), 17,004 steps
Jun 30: 1 hour indoor walking, 13,457 steps
Jul 1: 2-15 minute fitness walks w/ dog, 7,867 steps
Jul 2: 1 hour indoor walking, 12,197 steps
Jul 3: 1 hour indoor walking, 12,150 steps
Audiobooks listened to this week :
- Finished The Art Forger by B.A. Shapiro, narrated by Xe Sands.
- Started Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter, narrated by Edoardo Ballerini

So the training begins… Are you using a set schedule for training? I ran a marathon many, many years ago, and I found the training schedule was harder than the race itself. Good luck and I'll be here to cheer you on!!
I have a training plan that I am modifying to fit my schedule. I basically need it for the distance walks – to know when I should be increasing and then tapering off. This is the 1st full-marathon I've done, but I've done a few 1/2 marathons, so I get the basic premise behind the training schedule and you are right – the schedule is sometimes more grueling than the race itself!!!
