Nearly There - 10 Marathons in 10 Days
Posted: Wed Jan 15, 2014 8:34 pm
After an epic training weekend for my 10 marathons in 10 days challenge , where I met some like minded friendly mental people, I have come to the conclusion that:
1. I am still mental for doing this.
2. My training programme needs to change slightly.
3. It's far too close to 9 May arrrrgh.
I need to increase my core/ strength work. I need to do lots more stretching and making use of the foam roller.
Maybe cut the mileage on the roads back a bit and concentrate on quality not quantity. Include two long runs a week (min 20 miles), and in February I will be running another back to back marathon.
Really enjoyed the run around the marathon route Saturday. Was such a beautiful day although the hills are still there lol.
Fundraising is still a big part of this challenge, so thank you to those who have donated so far, and for those that do want to donate but don't know how, just follow the link below:
