As it says in the heading, the main focus for the year is the World Long Course Champs. However, the immediate focus is the London Marathon on 13 April...EEK!! This will be my first marathon and, although I have built up my milage and I am really looking forward to it, I am worried about going too fast at the beginning and blowing up! I have completed quite a few long runs (20+ miles)and also upped the amount of fast work by training with Hunts AC in St Ives. Additionally, I have raced the Stamford 30k in feb and the Fleet Half Marathon on 16 March......I guess I am ready!
I have had a couple of heavy volume and intensity weeks and next week will be an easier week. Did 5 x 1k at the track last night in very windy conditions, averaging 3:20 per rep. My legs were heavy as I had cycled into work (30 miles) on the single speed into a head wind for 29.5 miles! Also, completed a straight 2.1k swim at lunch. Tired today! Just done an easy 5 miles run with Caleb (my dog). Will do and easy long ride with Mick Pullen tomorrow. Then it is a gradual reduction of all training over the next 3 weeks to make sure I am rested for the London Marathon. I like to pack the training in so it may be hard to ease back, but I know I must! Bye for now 8-)
