About Chunkygirlsmarathon

I am a lifetime chunky girl. And I want to run a marathon. This blog is to see if it can be done. All the books out there, even the ones for non runners are for skinny people. This will be my training log, expect photos, videos, and all my thoughts along the way. Thanks for tuning in.

TRAINING it UP


I recently found a new running schedule that I'm pretty sure is more legit and will help in my training. Its a combinations of tempo runs, hills, intervals and sprints. I think this will help get me ready for my actual half Marathon. Check it out and let me know what you think.

I know that I needed to look up what these random things meant so here is your running termonology dictionary.
Fartlek: Is a running technique used to build speed and work on your pace. It consist of a fluid combination of tempo running (a comfortable pace) and speed work. Essentially it is burst of speed in the middle of training run.
Hllls: Running hills are best for building strength. This not a huge deal it mostly mean you need to incorporate some hills into your training.
