WEEK 5: HALF MARATHON WITH 'SAINTS'DAYS'

​WEEK 5 HALF MARATHON 2018 with ‘SAINTS DAYS 5k&10K Training Plan ST. VALENTINE’S DAY IS WEDNESDAY! The true holiday may be the actual date some of you will be running the first of the two ‘SAINT’S DAYS’ races, the 5K.  A personal, custom-designed competition will have allowed this. Most of the organized races are likely to be slated to be run on the weekend.

Regardless of circumstance, congratulations on completing training up to this point. If you don’t have a race planned on February 14 or the weekend, but still want to run the 3.1mile distance on this day swap Wednesday’s session with Tuesday. Walkers can swap it with Thursday. It can be a tempo training run/walk or an unofficial speed workout. You will then stick with the plan as it builds up mileage and get in a long slow 6-mile run or 5 mile walk on Saturday.
 
Stretch and roll afterwards and look forward to the next goal in your plan. Hopefully if you have been paying attention to building strength, improving balance, and increasing speed in the last half of your long runs, you will notice a fresher legs, strong finish and faster time. Good luck.
 
RUN & MOVE HAPPY!
