Marathons next year
I was talking with someone in the shop the other day and he said that he's running the marathon in Badajoz this Sunday and Toral at the end of June. What he said made sense to me:

The best half marathon in Galicia is Vigo-Bayona, which will be on 10 April this year. The veterans championship in half marathon is in Porriño at the end of March.

If you do Madrid, you really do not want to 'race' in VIG-BAY as you should be starting to taper. Likewise, Porriño is one month before Madrid. As it's the championship, and a flat course, one would hope to go flat out, well, me at least. So, if anything went wrong, like it did in VIG-BAY last year, there's not too much time to recover.

My thinking was that I could really attack these two halves, then use Ferrerua, Vigo and Betanzos as part of the marathon preparation. That way I can race the important ones, and still have time to recover if I do something stupid.

By the way, Sampedro, were you still looking for a Preuba de Fuerza? Andres Diaz was in the shop the other day and he and a collegue are offering the service in La Coruña. I don't know how much it costs, but I'll send you a private message tomorrow.
