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...
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...
Plagued – Week 17 of Maratraining
This week was rough. I am still fighting this nasty virus nearly 2 weeks on. While I may not sound like my chain smoking alter-ego Beryl anymore, I feel weak and drained of energy. Everytime I think I feel better the virus strikes back and wreaks havoc. I tried to keep up with all my training and for the most part I did well. The running helps “loosen” things up and does wonders for my mood which has been a bit bad. I...
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...
