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...
Changing Habits – Week 14 of Maratraining
Apparently this week marks the half-way point in my training for the Cadbury Marathon. It’s fitting that this week I’ve made some changes to my habits that will hopefully set me up for a better second half of training. I’ve been feeling the hurt with my hip but that wasn’t the only thing that has been getting me down the past few weeks. I kept feeling drained and tired after my runs which naturally meant...
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...
Biggest week yet – Week 12 of Maratraining
I’m going to try and keep it short and sweet this week. I had huge week and even bigger weekend which is why I didn’t quite get around to publishing my usual Sunday digest. This week of training was all about keeping focus and working through my hip injury. I popped ibuprofens like they were lollies, gave Mr Foam Roller a workout and had some therapeutic massage. I didn’t skip a km of training and I’m...
Pushing through the pain – Week 11 of Maratraining
This week went by in a hazy blur. My uncle was on my mind. It was hard not being able to be there to say our final goodbye. On the day of the funeral I took a day off from the corporate, bought some doughnuts and spent time with my mum and dad and remembered the good old days including how much of a sweet tooth my uncle was. It was also great to be home and not travelling for work. After a week of much needed rest, it was back to...
