Marathon training will feel real this week
Track work out Tuesday night. Crossroads Thursday night. 16 mile run Saturday. When this is all done, and when I can take a nap that Saturday afternoon, it will be my first week over 30 miles since the end of September.
I remember that this happens from January through April so I’m not worried about it. I just need to remind myself to stretch and cross-train over the next 12 weeks. Exactly three months to go.
I think a lot of things will be determined over the next couple of weeks. I think I’ll find out soon that I will be comfortable with an 8:30 pace over 14 and 16 miles. I’ll find a way to get myself in shape to also run at a 7:45 pace for a few miles.
Let’s hope the snow stays away from the northeast.
