Training post – 4 weeks in

So I’m over 4 weeks into my training.

I have hit all my sessions, running 4 times a week. Each week my programme includes:

1) a long run
2) an easy recovery run (now up to 5 miles)
3) a tempo run (speed session)
4) a short 3, sometimes 4 mile jog

Attached is a snap shot of a tempo run in Richmond Park, my first in 2018, aided by my New Years Eve prosecco flavoured rocket fuel!

I’m tracking over 90 miles in total so far and my long run is up to 11 miles. This week is a ‘down’ week which is good because my back is playing up.

I’m starting to get some aches and pains but this is normal in the build up to a marathon and it gives me an excuse to attend my yoga classes to stretch and flex those weary muscles… namaste!
