Another good week this week with a full complement of runs, 40+ Miles in the bank, another 20-miler long run and a healthy dose of cross Training :-)
This week was a real Confidence Builder as I managed to fit in all my scheduled runs and get another 20-miler under my belt. I’m still finding the 20-milers really tough, and I’d be lying if I said they were getting easier, but every one I complete is helping with the “time on my feet” aspect of training and makes my marathon target a bit more believable.
An easier week coming up as Week 13 is going to be a re-test and recovery week replicating the 1 mile and 20 minute tests that I took before starting the marathon schedule to see how my speed and fitness has improved from a few months ago.
