This blog is mainly to help me and Ron (my fabulous coach) keep track of what is going on in my training. Good days. Bad days. Successes and failures. Aches and pains. That sort of thing. But please come visit once in a while to see how we're getting on!

A DAY OFF (but not off running)

15M - double; recovery & general aerobic runs & exercises
5M am recovery run at ~7.45min/M
Core strength exercises (six cycles)
10M pm general aerobic run at ~6.30min/M

I've taken three days off work this week to run and rest! I was inspired by a comment in Richard Nerurkar's marathon training book that encourages you to treat yourself like a proper athlete once in a while... And I've got a stack of leave that I hadn't got round to taking.

I spent the day largely with my weight off my feet between my runs. I felt surprisingly sprightly this morning after yesterday's race. And I should be well recovered for tomorrow's session.

I'm looking forward to two more days of this. And I've booked a sports massage for Wednesday afternoon as an additional treat.

I've also got three days off in the week before the marathon.
