Marathon Training: Weeks 11 & 12


Week 11 – well, it was a bit slow to be honest  as I was  recovering from the  “Man Flu”. Once I had recovered, it was my brother’s stag-do – so I had to give the weekly long run a miss, which was not ideal as I missed the previous week due to my life threatening illness.

Week 12 – I attempted to run home on Tuesday but ended up getting a bus after about 3 miles, as I just wasn’t feeling it.  However things got much better towards the end of the week – when on Thursday, I had a very enjoyable run home. On Saturday, I ran the furthest distance I have ever run (and intend to run before the Marathon) when I ran 21 miles including two laps of Hyde Park. The weather didn’t help matters by being the hottest day of the year (insert links).   My Garmin says that I burnt 3,000 calories so I put all that back on by treating myself to a large Domino’s pizza.
