Like I mentioned in my last post, I hope to sign up for the Princess Half Marathon next week during early registration. I will need to step up my running and training game so I will be able to run this race. I want to train better than I ever have, and that will be a little more difficult with the baby now, but my husband is so supportive so I don't think it will be a big problem.
Training wise I usually use an app on my phone that will tell me when to run and when to walk. Since getting a new phone in April I noticed that the app doesn't work now which is a bummer because I have been used to the particular app for the last few years. Last night while scrolling through the app store I noticed that Jeff Galloway has running apps! I was so happy because the training programs on Run Disney are designed by Jeff Galloway. What better way to train than by using his app. Since I am starting all over again with running since being pregnant I decided to download the 5k app to try it out. As long as it goes well I will download the half marathon app to really step up my game and I'll try to keep you all posted as to what I think of the app.
Another thing that has me worried about training for a half marathon in February is that I will need to run some, or all, of the runs at the end of the training on a treadmill. I live in the northeast and there is no way that I'm going for a run in freezing temperatures in December and January. The treadmill and I don't always get along but if I have built up a good running base this summer and fall I'm hoping that I should be all set to run on the treadmill in the colder months.
I think that sums it up for this week's Running Rant. Let me know if you found any good run training apps or if you've tried the Jeff Galloway app and what you think of it. Do you dislike treadmill running as much as me?
