2010 Detroit Marathon Training

ecoyne — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 16:19:25 +0000

Seeing as I have found motivation in sharing my training, I’ve decided that I’m going to keep a log of my experience training for a marathon. Hopefully, I will be successful in this endeavor.

Week 1

6/8/2010 – Day 1 of 72 – 3 Miles
Easy run around my new neighborhood, sunny skies, despite coming off a 6 mile run this past Saturday, this run felt very strong. Weather was sunny. Feet are staying in good condition, but I definitely need to figure out better stretching techniques.
Details of run here.

6/11/2010 – Day 3 of 72 – 5 miles
New route leaving my house, weather was nice, felt strong, no soreness during run. First time running from home to Royal Oak, MI! Will continue to improve my route.
Details of run here.

Week 2

6/15/2010 – Day 5 of 72 – 3 miles
I finished last week horribly, missing two runs including the long run. Had to get garage cleaned up and was out of town for the weekend for motorcycle endorsement training.
Started first week of the run very strong. Weather was mostly cloudy, but had a good breeze. Ran felt fantastic!

6/16/2010 – Day 6 of 72 – 5 miles
Decided to run without taping, but using the dual layered socks. Left foot felt fine, right foot got hot. Still struggling with that. Easy pace this run, weather was hot, little windy.

6/17/2010 – Day 7 of 72 – 3 miles
Perfect running weather, sunshine and 68F – Strong, fast run!
Details of run here.

Week 3

6/22/2010 – Day 9 of 72 – 3.64 miles
Missed 9 mile Day 8 run due to Durango issues and Kenny in town. New route. Great weather today as well. Tied shoes lightly, zero feet issues, wore dual layer socks. Most comfortable run to date.
Details of run here.

Oak Apple Run 10K Results – Royal Oak, MI

ecoyne — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 16:01:31 +0000

Weather was perfect for the 10K this morning. Set myself up with a 60 minute completion goal and finished just under the goal of 59:49! I’ll take it!

Marathon training starts next week… what have I got myself into!

The Training Begins…

ecoyne — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 00:19:31 +0000

I’ve finished two half marathons, one trail, one street, and now I guess the only thing left to do is go for the big one.

Monday, June 7th, 2010 begins the 18 week training session to get me to the finish line of the Detroit Marathon on October 17th, 2010.

Starting off the training with a Warm up 10K Race on Saturday, June 5th, 2010. Pushing for under 60 minutes.

Training schedule to be followed is attached here:

Neighborhood Run – 5.76 Miles

ecoyne — Thu, 06 May 2010 16:36:45 +0000

Picked up new shoes on 5/5/2010 and decided to break them in with my orthotics. First lap was fine, second lap I could feel my feet not being used to both the shoes and the orthotics, but I made it!

Details of run are available after the Read More

The biggest personal challenge I’ve faced. Not only a half marathon, not only 13.1 miles, but a TRAIL Half Marathon…

I did it!
