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...
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...
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...
New Kit, New PB – Week 20 of Maratraining
I can’t believe it is week 20 already! The date of the Cadbury Marathon is looming closer and I’m at the pointy end of my training. Point to Pinnacle was only last week, yet it seems like it was ages ago. Corporate life has been crazy busy and emotionally draining. The cheesemine is going through a restructure which means heaps of change and the inevitability of people leaving because of the changes. Change is...
