So after the October baystate marathon I decided to take some days off and then run on the weekend with my running buddies. I ran Saturday and Sunday but still felt my legs shaken up a bit so I took another week off. My legs felt great and after that I have been trying to keep steady. This week I took 3 days off due to having a cold but last weekend I was able to get some good mileage 16 on saturday at a 7:40 pace and 12 on Sunday around 8 pace. This weekend I ran Thursday and Friday 6 miles each and then 12 both Saturday and Sunday.
Two weekends ago I did run a 17;15 at the Bryan Adams 5k which wasn't bad for not doing much speed work and taking 2 weeks off the marathon. I did get a bike tune up certificate from the race which is pretty cool, since I can definitely take my bike in.
Next up will be the Turkey Trot and the Dallas relay.
I will recommend an article that resonated with me. It was about doing most of your runs at a comfortable talking pace. I would say 80% of your runs should be at this pace if you want to have continuous results and in general enjoyment in your running.
