Wanted to show a picture since we are doing this series on our training for the 2010 Chicago Marathon. This is us at the 2006 Chicago Marathon…and the beginning of The Running Couple! This race inspired Isis to start running and even though she has re-thought that decision several times, she will be lining up for the 2010 Chicago Marathon.
Keeping it short and sweet this week. Last week we had a bit of a struggle with hitting our CrossFit workouts. Just seemed like it was one of those weeks where things were popping up every time we had a workout scheduled. We’ll be hitting a couple of the CF workouts that we missed last week and our big goal is to complete 6 of our Yasso 800s we have scheduled on Friday. This week we will be completing a total of four CrossFit workouts and three running workouts.
*We will be putting on some additional miles throughout the week. These runs are always done at a very easy pace and we will not be tracking the mileage for those.
We have included our workouts below. Most of our paces are calculated for a 4:10 marathon time from the McMillan Running Calculator.
