Week four

[Antonio247]

Hello, Suzie

You´re doing very well. It´s a pity you couldn´t do 26 miles last weekend but you´ll do them at Stratford marathon. In Hal Higdon´s novice marathon training schedule, a 20 miler is the longest distance you have to do before the marathon. So, don´t worry about it. Besides, running 20 miles on such a windy day is as if you had run more than 26 miles.

I intend to take some walk breaks as I mention in my last post in week 3. How often do you intend to take a walk break at the marathon? I think that I´ll do one every 2.5 kms, that is, around one mile and a half. I´ll drink a little water while I´m walking.

My target is also to finish around 4 hours 30 minutes. My PB in half marathon is 2 hours 2 minutes 43 seconds. It´s a pity we aren´t running the same marathon, so that we could go together.


Good luck, Suzie.

PS. Good luck, Andy, at the Maidenhead Easter 10. What a beautiful name. I didn´t know Maidenhead was a town in Berkshire. I like the distance too. Ten miles is a reasonable distance, neither too short nor too long.
