NYC Marathon Training Week 1 + PRO Compression Giveaway!

Sharing is caring!

Sunday was the first day in way too long of a time that I woke up in my own house after a normal night’s sleep, got out of bed, and did not get ready to either run or do yoga.  I guess I could go through my weekly recaps to find out when the last time really was, but that’s not how I want to spend this workout-free time.

It’s interesting how a person like me can take something that’s supposed to be relaxing (yoga) and make it into just another thing that MUST.  GET.  DONE.  Totally not the point, and I’m glad I decided that during marathon training there will be one day per week where I completely rest from all exercise, even yoga, even stretching.  Give the muscles a break and pretend they’re not even there.  That means no vacuuming either.  This marathon training plan is starting to rock!

Let’s see what I did this week.  Spoiler: NYC Marathon training week 1 went exactly according to my plan.  I’m going to write it all out anyway or else I’d have nothing to say before announcing my PRO Compression giveaway! The beauty of the internet is that you can scroll down to the bottom if none of this interests you.   I won’t even make you feel guilty for wanting to do that.  Except I need to tell you that you’ll miss 3 pictures of my watch, and at least 4 mentions of the weather.  Your choice!

imageMonday –  6 miles, easy pace.  I’ve decided, for the first couple of weeks of training at least, to wear my watch for all my runs, even the “easy” ones.  This is not to control my pace, but rather to get a sense of what paces feel easy on what days to get a better sense of where I’m at with my fitness.  For months, I’d been tracking only for tempos and long runs and I want to get the big picture for these first few weeks.

Later on, 25 minutes “post run” yoga.

imageTuesday – 7 miles total with 4 at goal marathon pace.  I kept the 4 miles right around 7:50-55, with 2 miles warm up and one cooldown.  I was happy with this run!  Later on, similar yoga practice to the day before, about 25 minutes.

Wednesday – 5 miles easy pace.   The “recovery” run always feels extra slow, no surprises here.  30 minutes yoga later on, with core strength.

imageThursday – It’s funny what you learn wearing a Garmin.  Like the fact that a run you thought was 7 miles even is actually 7.26!  This was my “hilly route” run so the pace on the watch actually felt a lot harder and was very variable based on up or downhill.  I felt like I gave the effort I wanted to, and the weather was also surprisingly cool which helped.

Later, 30 minutes gentle yoga.

Friday – No running, 40 minutes early morning yoga.

image

Saturday –  12 miles – first long run.  This was a very, very humid run!  At the start of it it was already 75 degrees with 90% humidity.  Luckily it started raining around mile 10, but even with the rain cooling me off my legs felt jello like.  Humidity always makes my legs feel jello-y.

Late in the afternoon I got in 30 minutes of yoga, mostly stretching with a little core and leg strength.

Sunday – Rest

And just because I have the pictures, I’ll show you a couple of breakfast highlights from the week.  Feel free to scroll if this is too ridiculous!

"Sloppy Joe" sweet potato hash

Bacon, spinach, sweet plantains, eggs

Nothing like a post run breakfast, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again and again!

pro giveaway

But now!  This is the moment!  My Pro Compression Giveaway!

Procompression marathon socks have been my favorite ever since I discovered them while reading blogs about a year ago.  I have two pairs, but as you can see above the neon yellow pink striped ones seem to get the most photo love!  These socks have gotten me through my toughest and longest training runs plus the Philadelphia Marathon in 2014.  I also love wearing them after a run for extra support and because apparently I like looking at pretty colors.

The two pairs I currently own were purchased on my own, because they are simply awesome in every way a compression sock can be, and the fun colors don’t hurt the cause and simply make me happy!

That said, I was super excited when the company contacted me last week offering a giveaway to my readers!  If you guys haven’t tried these socks yet, now’s your opportunity to WIN A FREE PAIR of marathon socks in the color of your choice!  If the socks aren’t your thing, you also have the option of choosing a pair of compression sleeves!

The even cooler part (in my opinion, because I love sales!) is that Pro Compression is also giving all of us a 40% off discount code for all marathon socks and sleeves!  

Be sure to use the code PRO15 when you check out so you can stock up on your favorite colors just in time for fall marathon training!  PRO15 for 40% off – seriously good stuff.

    You know I love PRO Compression too!! So glad week 1 went well for you. I totally understand needing to wear the garmin at least in the beginning. And I like your plan of no vacuuming on a rest day. In fact I don’t think anyone training for a marathon should be allowed to vacuum:)

    Glad week 1 went well, thats a good start….but I am sure marathon training will have many lovely speed bumps to shock you with (which of course you will get through and stay strong). I will be looking forward to supporting you as you get ready….heck, live it through you as I am not racing a fall marathon. Would love the pro socks, but I think I need to be loyal to my brand 🙂

    Very important question is what shoes will you be wearing for the marathon? Mizunos or Asics? BTW I love Saucony more than Mizunos. I started off in Asics, moved to Mizunos now in Saucony. I own all 3 and a pair of Hooka’s. I rotate through all of them now.

    Reply
    • Michele says

      July 20, 2015 at 3:01 pm

      I might not wear either! I’m really not sure, my first marathon was run in Brooks adrenaline and I might try those again when both of these wear out, since they worked well for me. I’ve also worn Mizunos in the past before Asics, not sure I need the bulk of the Asics anymore. The only brand I have trouble with now is Saucony because of the heel drop, I need more of a classic drop. I really love trying new shoes 🙂

    I’ve loved the Pro Compression marathon socks as long as I can remember! I have a white pair with a black chevron on the top that are so cute. I’m hoping that I win because both of my pairs are getting quite old and I could really use a new pair. Thanks for hosting!

Yesterday, when I calves were feeling tight after my long run, I was just thinking how it’d be nice to own a pair of compression socks. Then this morning I saw that you were doing a giveaway. Perfect timing!
    The pro compression sock colors I love are the neon pink and the powder blue.

    I am SO EXCITED about the socks. I have NEVER worn them but have been wanting to. The 40% off makes it worth trying. I have trouble with my feet and ankles swelling in the summer–mostly due to a medication I take daily to prevent severe migraines, but I have been thinking compression socks may help. Not to mention–I kind of like the idea of spicing up my running look:) Great to see that so many people like this brand.

    I actually had a great running week. Added some speed work. Feeling good about running right now. Woo hoo!

    Dang girl, you killed it out there! Way to rock your first week! I also take my watch on easy runs, but I don’t look at it (if I need to see my distance I just cover the time/pace with my finger). I try to do most of my running by feel because to me that’s a more efficient way to run easy than trying to hit a pace, but I also want to track my runs and I like to know how I did at the end.

    I used to always wear compression on my long runs, but it’s too hot now! I’m switching to just for recovery. I wore my black and white striped PRO compressions to Grandma’s Marathon last month and got tons of spectator comments on them!! 🙂

      Thanks so much! I find it hard not to look which is why eventually I don’t use it for easy runs, in the beginning of training though I like to see what my paces feel like, I think that’s important to know too.

      I agree it’s hot for the long socks during a run, but I still put them on after and they feel great!

I’m doing a September marathon (trying to BQ – only 4 minutes off but it seems like a lot at the moment). I had my first of 3 twenty milers today and it was HOT. still better than cold IMO.

And good luck with your training as well – I know what you mean by feeling like 4 minutes is a lot, just training for the distance in general is tough and then to improve time can be overwhelming. I’m right there with you! And congrats on getting through the 20 miler in the heat, that will certainly make you strong and right on your way to that BQ!

    Love reading about your marathon journey, and I especially enjoy seeing your post run eats! SO many colors and nutrients. Curious, what differences have you noticed personally wearing compression socks?

      Haha I’m glad you like seeing the food! I love compression socks mainly for how my legs feel after a run! I have noticeably less swelling, achiness, and soreness, and I also feel like they support my feet and ankles during a long run or marathon, which is pretty crucial during those runs.

    Of course I had to read every single word of how your training went. If I can’t run, at least I can through bloggy friends!

    I found some from smartwool that I love. I wear them after long rides (I’m a cyclist) and they have made such a difference!

    I would probably just pick a black pair! I have some colored ones already and love them!

      For some reason I always skip black and white and only have colored! I probably need a black pair too 🙂

    Hey, one quick question. I’m going to order a pair. My running shoe size is 8 1/2, which according to them would be a small. But I really want a lot of compression because I’m recovering from a sprained ankle. Do you think I could wear an extra small? Thanks!

      I’m a size 8 or 8 1/2 in running shoes depending on the brand, and I have both the small and XS sizes and both are fine, so if you want a bit more compression I think xs would work.
