2nd week.

Here's the review of my second week of marathon training.

After last Sunday's 10k race, I had a rest day on Monday. I was supposed to run again on Tuesday but it was raining so I postponed it until the next day. I'm not good in the rain but this was just an excuse, I basically didn't feel like it.

So, training started on Wednesday. This run was a fast 4 miles. I was pleased with the pace. Thursday's run was this : 5M of 1M jog, then 4x800m at approx 10K pace with 400m jog recoveries in 3 mins, then 1M jog.


Friday's run was 5M of 1M jog, 3M at half marathon pace, then 1M jog. On Saturday I was supposed to run 4 miles fartlek. (I will explain that means later on). Again, I didn't do this because of the weather.
Today, Sunday, I ran the longest distance I have ran in 9 months, 10 miles. This went OK but I had been drinking the night before and I was a little dehydrated. I shall have to stop drinking if I am to complete this training correctly.
