Marathon Training - Week 4 Preview

This is week four of the Denver Marathon Training Plan (+ some swim & bike training) . Last week was a "rest" week, with some reduced training distances. Because of a mysterious issue with my breathing on one run, I skipped the "long run" the next day as a precaution. I suppose that if there is a "good" week to have a problem like that, this is the week. We'll see how the rest of the week goes.

Plan for this week:

WeekdayWorkouts
Monday:Cross-train: Ride an easy 20 miles
Tuesday:Off
Wednesday:Swim 3000 meters (endurance/speed mix)
Run 3 miles easy/aerobic effort
Thursday:Bike 8.5 miles (easy commuting from work)
Run 6 miles aerobic/mod effort
Friday:Swim 2550 meters (speed/kick workout)
Run 3 miles easy
Saturday:Ride 50 miles (easy/mod)
Run 6 miles @ goal marathon pace
Sunday:Long Run: 13 miles @ marathon pace minus 45 to 90 seconds

Goal Totals
Swim: ~2 hrs, 5500 meters
Bike: ~4:00 hrs, 78 miles
Run: ~4.5 hrs, 31 miles
