It's been a while since I last posted.
So ... here we go.
Since February, I've missed less than 10 days training of some form or other!
Times, I've doubled up and completed 2 sessions in a day.
now, you would think at this point that I felt great?
Not quite great, but pretty good moving towards being tired!
My conundrum now is, do I keep pushing, or rest up more?
I'm thinking of backing off mid week and increasing my weekend long run.
Long runs at the moment are 13 - 15 miles, so I'm thinking of increasing to 18 - 20 miles at weekends.
My worry is, I'll increase weekend runs and still be training with the same intensity mid week too.
Last week did a steady 13+ miles out to Peel tower and back - felt weary coming back, not sure of most of that ended up in my head though!? That's what happens occasionally on longer runs.
Typical training at the moment consists of -
Monday - 5 mile hilly run or cross training (turbo) for the same time it would take me to run a steady 5 - 6 miles, increasing intensity as I train.
Tuesday - Badminton 70 mins fast session.
Wednesday - Run 7+ miles
Thursday - Badminton 70 mins fast session
Friday - Turbo as above up to an hour
Saturday - rest or up to 5 mile run
Sunday - Long run 15 hilly miles
= 30 - 35 miles running a week + 2 hard badminton sessions, + up to 2 hours turbo
Trying to up the running to 40+ miles a week, my problem as is most peoples is time!!
13 weeks until the marathon.
26.2 miles and 3,200 ft of climbing!!
Can't wait!!
