Half-marathon training – Week 7 – I didn’t hurt myself skiing!

Week 7 started off right on schedule. I did 3.5 miles on each of Tuesday and Thursday. On Wednesday I decided to mix things up a bit and did a sprint work out on the IMA 1/9 mile track. I ran a mile to warm up and then did four 1/9 mile sprints with cool down laps in between and then finished with another mile of jogging. I’m not convinced that sprint training is really going to help me over the half marathon but it was fun. My weekend runs were replaced by downhill skiing in Whistler. After watching all the Olympic skiing crashes I’m very relieved that I didn’t wipe out, injure myself and mess up my half-marathon training. My mileage is really going to start increasing over the next few weeks as I get into the real meat of my training schedule.
