I may have got hold of the wrong end of the stick here, but I’m sure that Tom said that these are the key ingredients for marathon success. That’s good then, because these are definitely two things at which I excel. Toms’ marathon talk was most informative and the time just flew by; if only time went by that quickly when actually running a marathon.
It’s been a day of time flashing past. Ran 10 miles with Helen in the afternoon and we seemed to be finishing before we’d even started. Training with someone else is just so much easier than training alone. Not too shabby a time either – 10.14 miles in 84 minutes. We ran most of the Leeds Half route which was new to me as I haven’t run that race yet.
Today marathon training seems to have started in earnest. I must admit that although I’m only in the second week of the sixteen week programme I’ve already gone off plan. I’m running more often than I’d intended. I’m taking it as a positive though it hasn’t been a conscious thing, it’s just happened.
We had a really intense club interval session on Tuesday evening when everyone seemed in good spirits. Running again today means I’ve run on six days out of the last seven.
Maybe this won’t be the low mileage preparation that I was planning. Oh well off to sleep and feed now as it’s counting towards my training.
