Week 3

Pretty good week last week ending with a faster than planned 10 miler.

I’ve already moved this weeks scheduled hill session from Wednesday to Monday (and completed it). Tuesday will be a 6 mile ‘steady’ with some faster bits thrown in and Thursday is an easy 5 miles. I’m going to skip the scheduled rest days this week as I build to the Mad Dog 10k on Feb 12th. Wednesday, I am hoping to run out with a local running club and Friday will just be a ‘wait and see’ kind of day (probably be a reverse parkrun).

Saturday will be the regular parkrun and Sunday’s ‘long run’ will be a 12 mile affair. I haven’t decided on a route as yet but as usual, it will end with the 2 mile uphill finish. This isn’t strictly following the training plan which calls for a ‘faster finish’ but there is no way around it.

Marathon training is going really well, helped in part by the Jantastic event over at www.marathontalk.com to provide some motivation.
