What schedule is right?

Hey hey hey,

So its day two officially of the training program. And I am hurting. The schedule I chose from runners world magazine started out a little strong to say the least. According to this schedule i was supposed to run 4 miles yesterday... which i did. and 8 on sunday! yeah! I know! thats alot. I was so tired in the hospital today. Yawning in front of patients and attendings. Not good. To make it worse.. I had to go from one hosp to another at lunch and I was so tired that I was going towards raleigh on the interstate. (wrong direction). Clearly I work in butner. That is how tired i was today. When I was a 2nd year student last year I would study from noon to 6pm. Take a run break and be back at the work by 8pm. Much easier than the road ahead :-/   While running i often say.... keep going must be the cute fit resident.. lol.

Things I need help with and will research...  (FEEL FREE TO POST COMMENTS)
1) What schedule is right for me?????
2) Foods and snacks that provide energy??

Right now I think I am ditching the aggressive runners world schedule for the intermediate Hal Higdon schedule. Check it out! http://www.halhigdon.com/halfmarathon/inter.htm

Last year when I ran my first half I did not abide to the schedule. Let me just say. Big Mistake. My body hurt so bad after the half. For days.......I could not walk down stairs properly.

So I must stress find a schedule if you plan to run a half. My classmates reccommended Hal Higdon and you can also go to the library and read runners world magazine for other half marathon schedules. They do a half marathon issue every July. (Its really good). Must study now!

Next Topic.... RUNNING SHOES!!

  1. SO PROUD OF YOU BRI BRI! I know the 5k is just going to be a warm up for you but I'm glad you are going to be there for support and help keep me going! Maybe one day I will make it to the half marathon! My roommate/running coach just got this book called "the everything running book" which has some pretty helpful info in it! I might start a blog too...way to go!
