Posted on March 19, 2016January 26, 2019 by JT Running DC

I had a sluggish start to the week as muscle soreness from Saturday’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon hit me hard on Monday and Tuesday. Adjusting to Daylight Savings Time was no picnic either. I did the rare run commute

Strong week! I ran a 22 miler on Sunday and a ran two easy runs on Monday. I had a rough interval workout on Tuesday and then cut-back my mileage in preparation for my first “tune up” race of this

2016 Boston Marathon Training – Week 11

Here’s a marathon training tip for you: don’t do a hard 15 miler the day before a tempo run. This week, I learned that lesson the hard way and went to a very painful place. Somehow, I came out of

2016 Boston Marathon Training – Week 10

Confident in my endurance when Sunday’s long run wasn’t completely miserable, I started layering faster miles into my workouts this week. I’ve been trying to go to bed earlier to get more sleep and that seemed to help my training.

2016 Boston Marathon Training – Week 7

Posted on February 6, 2016May 3, 2019 by JT Running DC

I started the week with an absolutely brutal long run through a lot of snow packed rail-trails and ended the week with a hill repeat workout on dead legs. Yay! During both, I reminded myself I’m a Boston Marathoner and
