Marathon T
In an effort to keep the miles ticking over – and due to the fact I had a sprint session last night – I decided to split my efforts and run twice for the first time.
At lunchtime I ran an easy 4 miles (8 min per mile) on the treadmill.
Then last night I drove to the front (needed the absolute flat tarmac) for my interval session.
The session consisted of:
1 mile jog warm up @ 9:00 min per mile.
10 x 200m sprints (avg 40 secs per 200m)
with 100m jog recovery between each effort.
1.2 mile jog cool down (which I ran at 7:40 per mile)
Total distance for the session was just over 4 miles; making 8 miles yesterday – to keep me on track for a 30+ mile week.
My schedule now says two consecutive nights of steady 4 mile runs. I think I am going to swap one of these for a gentle 8-9 miles. With Marathon B’s 40th this weekend I am unlikely to get any training done (unless you count the stroll for golf on Saturday).
Then Monday night is the big one….The schedule says 15 miles. I have the fear. I will have to take it very, very easy – and make sure I have a good check in at 6 miles to see if I have enough to go on. 13 miles is the furthest I have ever run (and that was 24 years ago). So I will be into the unknown.
