The Journey Begins: 16 Weeks to the Marathon, Then On to the 50 Miles
My training plan is officially underway—and I’ve made a few strategic changes. I’ve decided to break it into two phases: a 16-week marathon training block followed by the final build into my first 50-mile ultra. This approach gives me a solid foundation before diving into the longer, more demanding distances.
Week one, I’m feeling excited about the structure ahead. Here’s how my weekly schedule is shaping up for my fitness classes:
• Monday: Pilates + Cycling + Water Class + Water Class
• Tuesday: TRX Training + Group Strength
• Wednesday: Pilates
• Thursday: Group Strength + TRX + Cycling
• Friday: Pilates + TRX
• Saturday & Sunday: Long runs (since I don’t teach on weekends)
This week running schedule is
• Monday: 0
• Tuesday: 5
• Wednesday: 5
• Thursday: 0
• Friday: 5
• Saturday & Sunday: Long run 9
Nutrition and recovery will play a big role in how this all unfolds, so I’ll be sharing more about what I’m using to fuel my training soon.
Thanks for following along—I’m thrilled to have you join me on this journey toward my first 50-miler. Let’s see where this road takes us!
I'll post every day to tell ya how it went
