I hadn't been using a training plan but just googled a couple of different ones and think I'll try to follow Hal Higdon's novice 2 training plan for the remainder.
Since I'm doing a 5k on 8/29, I'll just swap weeks 6 and 7. I like this plan because there are 4 days of running, along with 1 day of cross-training, and 2 days off. With such an increase in mileage I'll definitely need those rest days to avoid injury.
I ran 4.2 miles on Sunday, 3 miles on Tuesday, and 3.1 miles yesterday. I took today off and will probably try to run tomorrow or take a class at the Bar Method. Looks like I'm right on track! As the weeks tick by I'll put more thought into my goal finish time for the race.
| week 6 | Rest | 3 m run | 4 m pace | 3 m run | Rest | 5-K Race | cross |
| week 7 | Rest | 3 m run | 5 m run | 3 m run | Rest | 9 m run | cross |
| week 8 | Rest | 3 m run | 5 m pace | 3 m run | Rest | 10 m run | cross |
| week 9 | Rest | 3 m run | 5 m run | 3 m run | Rest | 10-K Race | cross |
| week10 | Rest | 3 m run | 5 m pace | 3 m run | Rest | 11 m run | cross |
| week11 | Rest | 3 m run | 5 m run | 3 m run | Rest | 12 m run | cross |
| week12 | Rest | 3 m run | 2 m pace | 2 m run | Rest | Rest | Half Marathon 10/3 |
