Good morning!
Beautiful morning here in the state of Ohio!
June 17th, 2013 was an important day for me, it was the day I started marathon training!
Right now I am training for the full Columbus marathon in October and hoping to break 4 hours!
I ran the half in 2011 and absolutely loved the course so I am super pumped to run the full and see how the other half of the course pans out.
With that being said I thought I would share my training plan as I am running. I am also going to share the inspirational board that I have designed to motivate me through this 17 weeks of training! Monday I had a guest post about making inspirational boards to motivate us for a more active and healthy lifestyle. This motivated me to make a board all about marathon training and what it takes to really train for a marathon.
Monday: 4 miles in at slow easy pace/ 8 minute arms
Tuesday: 17.50 mile bike ride in 1 hour in 6 minutes/ 8 minute abs
Wednesday: 3 mile run @ marathon pace/ 8 minute arms/ 8 minute buns

Love your motivation board. I just ran a marathon at the beginning of the month so I’m taking a training break til I return from vacation. Once I return I’ll begin training for the Columbia Gorge Marathon in October. My favorite distance to run is 20 miles. It’s far enough so it lasts for a while and allows me to really feel the run. Good luck with your training!
Great job on the marathon at the start of the month! Good luck with your training for October! I love the 20 as well!
Favorite distance is definitely 26.2 but 13.1 holds a special place in my heart. I’m training for Marine Corps and Richmond right now… I’m looking at a 1/2 in August or September and I’m already signed up for a 1/2 in April 2014. The joys!
omgsh I feel the same way about the distance of 13.1 and 26.2! I always tell that to people when they ask me! Sounds a fun year of running! Good luck with all of your training!
I’m debating right now what I should train for. So excited for you, can’t wait to read along in your journey. I love your inspiration board!
Thank you so much! Good luck with figuring out what you want to train for!
