McMillan Custom Marathon Plan: Week 10 Day 1 – Almost A Day Off!

Week 10, Day 1
Phase: Marathon
Workout: OFF OR 20 to 30 minute Easy Run
Purpose: Build Endurance

Here we are on Week 10/Day 1 of the McMillan Custom Marathon Training Program and for the first time in the schedule I read the word “OFF“. Well, actually it was the option to take a day off, and guess what? I decided to go for a run instead….

With a little soreness in both my left quad and left ankle, I figured the best thing would be to keep the streak going and run easy. Sitting around probably wouldn’t do me much good, so best to keep things ticking over.

The run was actually very pleasant and I felt fine throughout. It was also nice to start the month off gently as I’m sure it’s going to get pretty tough very soon!

For the record:

Distance: 3.26 miles
Time: 25:18
Pace: 7:46 per mile
