September 2017
Is is possible to knock sixty minutes of a previous attempt at 26.2 miles?
Back in February 2015 I set my Marathon time at 4 hours and 50 minutes. I had originally started training for a sub 4, but life, love and a beautiful baby girl changed my goals. On the day of the event, my hope was solely to cross the finish line.
This time round I want to push for the sub four hour time goal and knock at least 60 minutes of my "personal best".
It all starts here:
Starting on the 1st September 2017 with 5 mile runs during the week, increasing to 7.5 miles at the weekend.
Using the MyAsics plan I have used for all my training in the past, based on my current PB's, I have been predicted a goal of 3:49:28. I would be elated with this time!
Having done a recent sub 50 minute 10k training plan, the 5 mile build ups seemed quite steady. The pace has dropped from my previous training plan, but I know that this is working on a different kind of endurance. The 7.5 mile runs, which are classed as comfortable are really enjoyable. Not pushing for any times, just enjoying the runs for what they are. I have hit a couple of 8 milers just because I was further away from home than I had anticipated.
I am looking forward to increasing the distance though, I enjoy the double digit runs more as it gives you a real sense of accomplishment when you get home.
Due to cycling into work on Friday, I tended to skip that day's run. I figured cycling 30 mile is having a decent impact on my endurance, legs and heart. This will have to be re-worked as the distances increase, but I will tackle that when I get to it.
