Catching up....

Marathon T

It has been a while since my last blog. So, here is a catch up of the last week.

Thursday
6 miles on the Treadmill @ 8.0mph

Friday:
10 miles on the Treadmill @ 7.5mph (8 min miles)

Saturday and Sunday (celebrating Marathon B’s 40th – nothing you could remotely call training)

Monday:
1 mile @ 7.5mph
4 Miles @ 8.5mph

Tuesday:
Treadmill:
0.5 miles @ 7.0mph
2 miles @ 9.0mph
0.5 miles @ 8.0mph
1 mile @ 9.0mph
0.5 miles @ 8.0mph

Evening steady run (outdoors):
6 miles @ 7:50 per mile.

That is the lot – It has been very hard work this week. The weekends activities have left me feeling tired – and as we are off to do a 10k this weekend – I have tried to get the majority of my training into the first half of the week (so I can take a couple of rest days before Sunday). My legs are definitely feeling it at the moment.

Managed to catch up with the reclusive Marathon C this weekend – who was regaling us with stories of how he almost represented England at Athletics when he was younger, and feeling like he could complete the half in 1:30….Sufficed to say this has now put him firmly in the driving seat for the timing stakes. Added to Marathon B’s stories of his exploits in the gym – Marathon C it seems is turning into the darkest of dark horses….

Marathon J’s ‘marathon’ holiday has also finally come to an end – so he is back on the island and raring to go for the last few weeks of training.

The MoFo team is therefore looking good for the 18th. Sponsorship money is flooding in and we now only have the little matter of 13 miles to complete.

It sounds easy if you say it quickly…Which is not how we will be running it….
