Day 1 of 2027 Pear Blossom Training

Day one check! I did a 52+ minute stroller jog and a 13 minute spin on the stationary bike. 

Main Goal

My goal is to shoot for a 65 minute 10 mile at next year's Pear Blossom Road Race. 

Injuries

My plantar fascia has been bothering me for a couple years. After a hamstring strain, the plantar pain magically-not really- leaped from my left foot to my right foot. Now, my right foot is worse than my left foot was. I've been having a lot more set backs, discomfort, and pain with my right foot.

Next 50 Week Goal

For the next 50 weeks, I want to average 65 minutes of cardio per day. I plan to slowly increase my running volume while supplementing with cycling and an eliptigo. I will lift twice a week which I might incorporate into a cardio circuit.

I don;t care how many rides, runs, or workouts it takes a day or week as long as the daily average is maintained.

I know I will miss days due to traveling and other unexpected events. For example, the last month I went a few days with no exercise because we had friends and family visit. I plan to make up for these days and rest days with longer bike rides. 

The plan is to be ready to put in three solid months of running training in 2027. With more of my cardio duration coming from running. 

Until then, I'll be cycling and eliptigoing my way at an average of 65 minutes per day, 455 minutes per week, and just under 380 hours the next 50 weeks.
