MagicRun Training - 4 weeks before raceweekend.

This was a weird week, no that's not it, it feels weird.
I only did 2 runs because of work and the things I needed to do in the house.
I also made my RunDisney Outfits for the MagicRun.


First run was on Wednesday.



Wednesday 8/21


Today was a film day for my last RunDisney Virtual Short Series.
The Black Panther 5K.
Video is not online yet but if will be upcoming week.


Thursday 8/22


Today I didn't do anything with sports, but what I did was sport related.
I made my running outfits for the RunDisney MagicRun.
And I'm totally happy with my running gear for september.
Just love it.


Friday 8/23


This was the day for my last long run before race weekend.
The plan was to do a half but because of constructions on the road I had to change my running route.
It wasn't a half that I ran but it was 18.90K.
It was fun and mom was with me again, sweet mom on her bike.
It was hot but I did it.
I will do long runs but the runs will be around 10/13K.
The pace of this run was: 8.45 per 1K.


Saturday 8/24 and Sunday 8/25


Were my rest days after the long run and I did some little things for the park days at MagicRun Weekend.

Almost, almost, wow it is almost MagicRun Weekend.
For months you want raceweekend to be here, and now it's almost there, that you can go to the startline of the race.
Still 3 weeks to go.
Let's make it a good 3 weeks.

MagicRun Training: 5 weeks before raceweekend

The forecasts give a week with only rain.
I don't mind running in the rain but a whole week, really, yak.
We will see what it brings.


Tuesday 8/13


Yesterday was a rest day and today we are going to run a short easy run.
I was a Lucky lady today because on my run I had no rain at all.
Before my run and after there was rain again.


This week of training is going to be so much fun because I was RunDisney Tagged by a insta and YouTube friend: Running in Make-up.
Click the link to go to her YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSunzTicx9FqaNm30-j6LPA
So I need to answer some questions, in total 12 questions and all about RunDisney.


Today I did 4 questions and it made the run different than other runs.
I will do another blogpost with all the questions so you can read them in one go.


It was a 4.40K run with a 8.56 min pace per 1K.


Wednesday 8/14


Today was a cross training day and there was a lot of rain, so perfect weather to do a home workout.


I did Pilates Fix from Beachbody, it always kicks my........ , and did 2 questions.


Thursday 8/15


Again a rest day, so we could get some stuff for the RunDisney races in september.
I finally got everything complete, I only need to put it together.


Friday 8/16


Today I want to do a long run but not to many Km's because I really need to slow down for a bit.
Next week is going to be my last long run before raceweekend.
Mom was with me on her bike so I could go in to the Woods.


Did 4 questions for the RunDisney Tag, only to 2 go!!!


It was a 9.83K run with a pace of 8.27 min per 1K.

MagicRun Training: 6 weeks before raceweekend

Only 6 weeks before raceweekend.
It's going fast now.
This week is more about cross training than running, because of work.
I'm in the nightshift from Sunday 8/4 till Friday morning so I will do 3 cross trainings and in the weekend some running.


Monday 8/5


I did yoga, the yoga fix workout from beachbody, love the coach Autumn Calabrese so it was a nice workout and perfect after the first nightshift.


Wednesday 8/7


Today my focus was on my arms, maybe you think you don't have train your arms but you need them on your runs and they need to be strong to help you on your run.
So because of the nightshifts I did a light weight workout.


Friday 8/9


This moring I came home after the last nightshift of the week.
I did the workout Tabata in the late afternoon, and it was a fun workout because one of my dogs was playing with me while I was doing the workkout.


Saturday 8/10


Finally a short run, I was trying to do my RunDisney virtual running shorts the Black Panther 5K, but my gimbal went crazy on me.
There was a lot of wind, really heavy wind.
It was a shorter run and I didn't like it I was a little mad at my gimbal.
I did 4.54K and the pace was 8.53 min per 1K.


Sunday 8/11


Time to do a long run today, mom was again on her bike, power woman she is, really really sweet that she is still going with me on my long runs.
There was still wind but not as bad as yesterday.
I didn't want to do a real long run so I made a 9K route, but mom didn't thought it was long enough so on the route I made a longer one.
It was a hard run and felt my legs after the run, I didn't die but I felt like dead.
We did 15.32K at a pace of 8.49 min per 1K.

MagicRun Training: 7 weeks before raceweekend

This week the heat wave is over but it is still hot.
There is something in the air that makes it hard to breathe.
But we had a good week of Km's.

Monday 7/29

Today is a rest day, because Sunday was the last nightshift.


Tuesday 7/30

A easy morning run today, it's always hard to run after a serie of nightshifts.
I took my time on this run just to get the feeling of running  in my legs again.
Did 5.41 K and my pace was 8.35 per 1K.
Glad I did a run but it was a bit hot and a hard run.


Wednesday 7/31

Today I'm doing a long run, didn't want to but I had to.
Glad my mom was with me again on the long run,  great company, all my stuff on her bike and it's save together.
Yesterday there was sun and beautiful, today there was a lot of wind.
We where back home before the rain started.
I did a 13.09K run with a 8.53 min pace per 1K.


Thursday 8/1

Rest Day.


Friday 8/2

Cross training day.
Plank, KB Swings, KB Power Snatches.


Saturday 8/3

Easy Run Day.
It wasn't really easy, like the whole week it was hard to breathe but now the cross training from yesterday got me sore legs.
So everything was a bit off, but ok we have good days and bad days in training, even whole weeks could be bad.
I did a 3.15K and the pace was 8.42 min.


Sunday 8/4

Plan of the run was a 10K and the Garmin training really stopped at 10.01K but the run was 11.03K.
Mom was with me on her bike so that was nice.
Part of the route was under constructions so we had to go over grass and go over the road, but it was all good.
Parts of the route where new and fun to run on.
The pace was 8.39 min per 1K.


Hard week of running but we did some great long runs.
Total Km's of the week: 36.2K.
