This marathon training season has had its ups and downs, but it has definitely gone well over the past six weeks. I've been putting in good weekly mileage outputs over the past 13 weeks (60-80 miles), with the exception of a flu week, which set me back about six weeks ago. The flu prevented me from running two key long run weekends, but I've been able to work my way back into shape since then. Two weeks ago I ran my first race of the year, a half marathon in 1:16:44, which was encouraging. If I can run that time back-to-back at Boston, then I will set another marathon personal best! Then last weekend I ran a marathon distance trainer in 2:56, which I feel will pay off down the road.
Over the last seven weeks, I'm going to be focusing on some longer speed workouts, and I will probably run one-to-two more three-hour long runs before I start to taper the last three weeks.
Hope everyone's training seasons are going well!
