5 Weeks Left.
OK. A change of plan. This is it you see, I don't actually have a plan. Practically everybody in the world uses a training schedule for the marathon. On the other hand, I do what I fancy. I know more or less the type and intensity of training that I should be doing and strangely enough I have the motivation to get me into the shorts and out the door. Of course, it's possible that I train too much, but so far the body has not started complaining.
Where my problem lies is in the fact that as I read more about training methods, and as I chat more with othere runners I think to myself "That's a good idea, I can incorporate that into what I do". Of course I cannot go changing tack every other day so it's a challenge to stay with what I know to be more or less effective.
Yesterday I went for my 400m series, completing 10 x 400m. Each 400m taking 90 seconds, with 60 seconds recovery between series. Added onto this was a 2km warm up and 2 more to cool down after.
My change of plan comes today. I have decided on a rest day today instead of the easy 10km. Tomorrow I will do 13km easy instead. The reasoning is a slight tightness behind my right knee. I know, as I have had this before, that with a couple of days with a neoprene support and lashings of MediKramer Hot-Rub that the knee will be better than ever by Saturday.
