1/2 Marathon Training

3 miles at 25:35 for a 8:32 pace. This is my goal 1/2 marathon pace.

I am really getting to dread the 3x15 day no matter what it is, upper body or lower. I would have to look through my logs but I don't think since I increased my weights I have ever hit all 3 sets with a increase in weights. Should I care more about increases or hitting all the reps?????? Or is how I am doing it ok! I try the increase on the first rep and then if I hit it try again. If I fail on the second drop down in weight. If I fail on the first I drop down in weight. I don't know if this is a good thing or not. Either way the 3x15 with 30 sec rest SUCKS!!! But it is one heck of a workout. My arms were on fire after.

The pace run was good. My legs are getting tired from the tempo run yesterday and then today's pace run. I was not suppose to do the pace run today, but I have the 5x5 lower body tomorrow and did not think I would be able to run a pace run after that. I will have to keep adjusting my marathon training around the NROL workouts for now. I think the holiday also messed up my schedule a bit, so next week should be a better judge of things.
