Our first non-running Sunday in months and how did we spend it? Why trying to watch the Paris Marathon of course! Technology let us down and we failed to track Sarah, so had to resort to text and telephone instead. Well done to Katie and Sarah, you are fabulous!
It was so hot for their run in Paris today and I've been studying the forecast very carefully in the last week. The latest forecast for next Sunday in London is partially cloudly, 14degrees and a 15mph wind. However, in 2009 they were forecasting 16degrees until the morning of the race, when we ran in 21degree heat. There's absolutely nothing I can do about the weather, except make sure I can adapt my race plan if it does turn into a scorcher. I also need to ensure I pack my suntan lotion. After just 6 miles yesterday my freckles have come out.
The schedule is week is:
Monday - REST
Tuesday - 10min ER, 2 x 1mile at marathon pace, 10min ER
Wednesday - 20min ER
Thursday - REST
Friday - 5min ER, 3 x 100meters steady run with 60second recoveries, 5min ER
Saturday - REST
Sunday - 26.2 miles
Good luck - have a great race. This week is the best as you can do lots of resting - you have put in all the hard work and I am sure it will pay off. Will be supporting you from the sofa!
