Gettin’ it done – Week 24 of Maratraining
These final weeks of training seem to be racing by! I honestly don’t know where the week went. This week saw the final easy 60’s and from next week I’m dropping down to 4 days a week of running…how am I going to cope? Corporate life has been good. It was a week of celebration and last minute flurries of activity as most of my team is off on Christmas break as of Friday. I’m there Monday, Tuesday and...
Battling the Demons – Week 22 of Maratraining
It was a hard week at the cheesemine and that affected me both mentally and physically. It was a hard week with highs and lows. Here is how it went down. Monday 30/11/15 After my distance PB the day before, I fully expected a repeat of last week’s not so easy 60. I was pleasantly surprised by the spring in my step as I set out early for my run. I ran my city loop and although I had a few niggly aches and pains I warmed up...
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! Corporate life is still busy and emotionally draining. Things will start settling down within the next couple of weeks (hopefully). True to my word I did every single km of my training program. I had moments of moaning and some of pure enjoyment. Here’s how...
Burnie 10 – Week 15 of Maratraining
This week was a taper week. I finally saw sense and took it a bit easier on myself to attempt to finally get rid of this hip issue. This was really hard to do! I really wanted to not drop any kms on my training program but sadly it just had to be done. I only ran 27kms this week which is at least 20km down on my normal weekly distances. I don’t want to be injured going into the Cadbury Marathon and I need to ensure I keep...
Twilight Running – Week 13 of Maratraining
I’ve realised that I’m beginning to sound a bit like a broken record! Sore hip, lacking motivation yadayadayada. Sorry! It’s been a tough slog but I guess that is what marathon training is all about. If it were easy everyone would be doing it. This week the theme was similar. My hip is less sore (thankfully) but still giving me grief. My times are, for want of a better word, shit. As per usual, I persevered...
