I know, it's been a while since my last update but I have a really good excuse! I was lazy. There, that's good enough isn't it?
I meant to start up the blog again when I began marathon training back in January but forgot. And then once you've forgotten once it becomes easy to continue to forget.
Anyway, let's put all that behind us and move on from here.
So, what's up you ask? I am four weeks away from my next marathon. The Brathay Windermere marathon in the Lake District. Not much hope for a new pb since it is apparently rather tough and hilly but it's a beautiful area I've been to several times and I'm looking forward to a good, hard marathon.
I've been following the Hanson marathon method again for a sub 3:30 finish. I don't actually think I'll achieve sub 3:30 because of the course but at least I can train to that level and see how it goes. I'm thinking of negative splitting again since it has reaped dividends in the last two marathons.
I've only missed three training runs out of the schedule due to illness/tiredness/can't be arsedness and I've only got one long run remaining next weekend. My legs feel tired all the time, which I know is a good sign, and I think my weight is finally starting to drop. I'll probably reach 80kg by the time of the race which is not too bad (78kg would be my ideal).
This has just been a quick update to get back up to speed. I'll post again next week after a couple of 10 mile runs this weekend.
