10 Weeks to go

As nice as last night's curry was, I don't think it was an ideal pre-run meal despite the rice and extra nan bread.  Luckily this morning's outing was a 50 minute easy pace run, so we enjoyed a couple of laps around the local forestry centre tracks.  Some bits were very muddy which hopefully will count as good training for next weekend's Hell in the Middle Race.  I feel a little ill-prepared for that.  I entered before getting a marathon place and usually would have been cross country running on Saturday's long runs in preparation.  However the marathon is the priority and Hell is just a bit of 'fun'.  It can't be worst than Tough Guy and I survived that!


This next week, the schedule is:
Monday - REST
Tuesday - 15min ER, 3min Interval Run (IR) with 90sec recovery repeated 5 times, 15min ER
Wednesday - 40min ER (although I'm coaching a hill session)
Thursday - 10min ER, 1min IR with 1min recovery repeated 8 times, 10min ER
Friday - REST
Saturday - 14 miles but we're doing 11-ish miles cross country Hell in the Middle
Sunday - 10min ER


Interval pace for us is between 7:50min/mile and 8:22min/mile
