Surprising Myself – week 25 of Maratraining
This week marks the commencement of tapering for the Cadbury Marathon. I’m decreasing from 5 runs a week to 4 and also decreasing the kilometers run. I did end up running a few “extra” kms for the hell of it (well maybe because I just didn’t read my training schedule right and forgot to turn back when I was supposed to…ooops!) I also wrapped up my corporate life for the year. It was a great feeling...
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...
