This was a rough week that ended with a broken toe, so unfortunately this will be my last Echo Half Marathon Training Recap. I will continue with my weekly workout wrap ups, but for now I am out for the half. There is a slim possibility that my toe will be healed in tome for the race and I may decided to run/walk it, but only time will tell. I got in a few quality workouts and runs this week, although I did skip some of my workouts in favor of laying by the pool. This was just a stressful week between work and my move and some days I just needed to relax, so I did.
Week 5 breakdown:
- Monday 4/25/16: Long run, 8 miles. My friend Allison overslept so I did 4.25 miles on the treadmill and then she met for the other 3.75 miles outdoors!
- Tuesday 4/26/16: Planned: Yoga for runners. Actual: Rest
- Wednesday 4/27/16: Planned: Lower Body. Actual: Rest
- Thursday 4/28/16: Speed work: 15 minute warm up, 1:00 minute at effort level 8 alternating with 1:00 at effort level 4 x8, 10 minute cool down, 3.85 miles. Total body with personal trainer at Crunch.
- Friday 4/29/16: Planned: Non-impact cardio. Actual: Rest
- Saturday 4/30/16: Planned: Upperbody and Core. Actual: Rest
- Sunday 5/1/16: Kayaking, 4.5 miles
- Total Miles: 11.85 miles
This wasn’t the best week for following my plan, but my coach Jess told me to look on the positive side. I got in three quality workouts and I got to relax and enjoy the Florida Sunshine and beauty. Sadly my week ended with a broken toe. This pretty much ends my Echo Half Marathon training. I plan to participate in exercises that will not aggravate my toe and I am hoping it will be healed for the half. Only time will tell.
Help me stay fit this month by sharing some of your favorite non-impact workouts. Thanks!
oh no that really sucks! I’ve broken some toes over the years by bumping into stuff. I remember it healing pretty quickly. Good luck!

Again, sorry for the setback with your toe! You had some really good workouts and I’m sure you’ll stay very active while your recover!
UGGGGH not a broken toe! I’m so sorry 🙁 My favorite low impact exercise is the AMT machine. Kinda like an elliptical, but I find it to be a tougher workout!

Aw, that’s a total bummer! 🙁 I hope it heals in time for you to still have an opportunity to participate!

oh no! Broken toe! That is tough.
Relaxing and resting are definitely the best thing for a toe.
Is the toe taped to its neighbor?
