Trainning towards the marathon

Yesterday’s workout, 18k in 1h35min, ending in a comfortable way. Recovery have not been too much of a issue, but I better watch out fatigue signs in the beginning of each week (or should I say weak?).

Despite all things went well, my intention is to run these long workouts on Saturdays mornings. I can then do a decompressing workout in Sundays, avoiding starting a working week with the need to recover from the 20k or so runs.

The workout scheme for the next two weeks will be to do two or three 7 – 8 km workouts during the working week and the long Saturday workout adding 3km each week. In a couple of weeks, I’ll be here posting my thoughts on my 24km long run. Cross training in one of those days will be a must do, also. Weight lifting and a bit of pilates exercises will suffice.

Food-wise, the need for salads, vegetables, fish and carbohydrates will have to be fulfilled.
