Slack Sunday

You wouldn't think I was training for a marathon if you saw me running yesterday. I was taking it pretty easy. In fact it took me 1:40 to run a whole 18K. I had better start getting serious.

You had better start getting serious!!! What about me...... I had better learn how to run again with all my time off.

Be good to see you out on the road sometime soon Eddie, thanks for the email. I am back from hibernation now. :)

I wouldn't be so hard on yourself.

On McMillan's Calculator for a 3:16 Marathon, the target pace range for Long Runs is 4:58 to 5:35. You just sneek in at the slower end there. But 18k is probably a fairly short Long Run.

Don't be too hard on yourself Eddie. You have had a fairly tough month with a Marathon and a Half in that time. Listen to your body and you will back running strongly in no time at all.

I hope to do the GC Mara and you are running a lot further than me. Does that make you feel any better :-)
