  • Marathon training – week 10 of 14

    I think this was a better week than last week. It’s a bit hard to say, looking back on a Sunday night where I ran for 2 hours and 20 minutes and still didn’t go as far as I was meant to. Looking at Training Peaks, I was therefore surprised to find I only ran […]

  • Marathon training – week 5 of 14 (slacking off)

    I’m back from running round the track in torrential, chilling rain, and looking back on last week, a week where I didn’t do all that I should have done. A week that culminated in defeat and a margarita pizza.

  • Marathon training – week 4 of 14 (taking it easy)

    This was my first easy week, although it’s hard to consider it that way, after the day I’ve just had, and my aching feet. For three days this week I just had to run my bread-and-butter 40 minute easy run; on Tuesday I did a power test at the track that was really just a […]

  • Marathon training – week 3 of 14

    This week I missed a few runs: I skipped a 30 minute jog on Friday night, feeling exhausted from the week and wanting to be fresh for the parkrun on the Saturday, and I was also meant to do a 2 hour tempo run at goal pace on Saturday morning; 20-odd minutes (and they were […]

    This week I did all but one of my scheduled runs; the last one today, an easy recovery jog, I figured I’d skip after spending all of Christmas Day drinking prosecco. If you look at this summary, I’ve almost exactly doubled the distance I’ve run vs the previous week, but my TSS (the indication of […]

  • And so it begins…

    Tomorrow is the start of my 14 week training plan for the Sundown Marathon in Singapore in March. This includes such joys as two hours of running scheduled for Christmas, which isn’t going to go down any better than a kilo of stale turkey and some rancid brandy butter. But tonight was my last off-schedule […]
