Training Resumes

After three weeks of recovery and rest from my last marathon, I have resumed my training in preparation for the NYC marathon.  I thought it would be difficult running again but surprisingly it hasn’t been too bad as I transition back into running.

Although I wasn’t “running” during my rest break, I kept myself active through daily 30-45 brisk walks and daily use of the Wii-Fit (which is shockingly effective).   A quick word on the Wii-Fit:  I thought it would be a totally lame but the yoga and strength exercises are decent.  I would highly recommend it.  It works well for me because I don’t have the time to go to a facility so working out at home, especially early mornings, with the Wii-Fit fits my schedule perfectly.

In terms of running, I am using a modified schedule of the Running Room and Galloway – e.g. using the running room program but for the long runs I will use the Gallowway walk/run method (2:1s).
