Holy cow! How is Week 5 of my half marathon training already over?! I can’t believe race day is just 4 short weeks away. Didn’t I just start training!? I already have a couple of 10-milers under my belt, and I’d still like to do a couple of 11/12-milers before taper time (planning on one tomorrow), so I *think* I will feel ready once race day arrives. Anyway, I had a pretty good balance of workouts this week: 3 runs + 3 days of CrossFit. I embraced my inner Dwayne Johnson and things worked out!
SUNDAY: 10 miles
MONDAY: Stroller workout with Qman (2 miles + 200 walking lunges)
TUESDAY: 3.3. miles
WEDNESDAY: CrossFit
I did 1 X 20 Back Squats at #145. For the WOD, I got 3 med ball cleans.
THURSDAY: Off
FRIDAY: CrossFit
SATURDAY: CrossFit

Nice work on the workouts! You’ll be fine with 11 miles before race day. That’s how I’ve trained for several of mine. Now I’m off to buy everything at Athleta!
woot woot! How was that partner workout completed? It actually looks like one the hubby and I could knock out at home!
One person works while the other person rests. You can’t move onto the next exercise until you finish all the reps in the previous one. It’s a good one for sure!!
Do you prefer to train for a marathon in the summer or the winter?
Yes, 11 miles before race day is more than enough. IMO 9-10 is fine.
20 at 155# so strong! (Though your write-up says 145# — don’t sell yourself short!) Also love that you and Mal partnered up. My fiance would never partner with me at the gym haha.
I did #145 on Wednesday and then #155 on Friday! 🙂
@Tina: Oh, whoops! Double the squats – even better!
My half marathon is this Sunday!! I implemented a lower running mileage plan with more Crossfit so we will see how it goes!! I’ll let you know 🙂
Good luck!!!
