Nearly there! – Week 26 of Maratraining
I can’t believe it! The final full week of training is over. My final long run is done. This time next week I will be a marathoner. This week was a lazy week of holidays. I’m “carb loading” which is just my fancy pants excuse for eating whatever I feel like. I got my yearly fix of deep fried goodness at the Taste of Tasmania mushroom stall and helped my dad drink half a bottle of wine….ooops! It is...
Distance PB Smashed! – Week 23 of Maratraining
This week was a bit up and down. Things at the corporate are settling down and everyone is starting to look forward to time out for Christmas. I ran most of the week’s runs down Sandy Bay Road. It was nice to get back there regularly and see some familiar faces. I ended the week on a high by taking out the longest run of the program 32km! Here’s how the week ran out: Monday 7/12/15 After yesterday’s lovely...
Moanin’ to MONA – Week 21 of Maratraining
I’m at the pointy end of my training. It’s getting tough. The long runs are getting very long and this week I racked up just over 61km of training. Wow!

I had moments of moaning and some of pure enjoyment. Here’s how...
P2P – Week 19 of Maratraining
Well folks, 19 weeks in! The big race is getting close (55 days away) and I’m starting to get a touch of the nerves and the niggles of doubt. My mantra right now is “stick to the plan, you’re doing the kms – you’ve got this!”. It’s working for now…. This week was all about the carb-loading and maintaining my training in the lead up to Sunday’s Point to Pinnacle. I do love my...
Back on Track – Week 18 of Maratraining
Well my health is finally on the up and I’ve managed to run more kms this week than on any other week of my marathon training program. I’ve still got the vestiges of a cough, the occasional sore throat and blocked ears but my energy is back and I ran 56.4km. Corporate life has been busy and is going to get even more challenging in the weeks ahead. Always does in the lead up to Christmas with a final frenzied flurry of...
