Week 12

[Antonio247]

Hello, Brian

The hotel is a bit away from the start/finish line, around three km I think but it is well communicated by tube and bus and it is in a quiet nice area near Plaza de Las Ventas. It is a four star hotel. I think it is quite new and the price is good. Apparently it is the only one you can get for only one 50 euro voucher that weekend. You can also book it through Bancotel.

I´m glad with my training. I think it is good to follow a programme although in a flexible way but knowing what you´ve got to do every week more or less and avoiding overtraining. Fortunately, there are still some unpaved paths nearby although it´s getting more and more difficult. However, at La Coruña there must be a lot of surface with grass to fo for a run. I think that running on the grass is the least harmful.

I´ve read some information on rucksacks in http://www.carreraspopulares.com/foro/home.asp?tema=4
in the topic "Mochila para correr".

I hope your girlfriend can get Saturday off so that you both can go to Madrid and live the marathon atmosphere.

Well, Brian, good luck.
Antonio
