160 Mins Long Run

LOAD: 51

160 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

This is the sort of distance where fuelling is now a priority. You’ll also start to get tired legs, but unless there is any specific pain, keep going, you’ll be amazed how far you can run on tired legs.

Saturday’s 15 miler. Very best of luck. I think sometimes ignoring the watch almost completely is the best approach for a race/easy long run like this.

Quite enjoyed the run! Despite it not being the easiest route, it was really warm and the course was difficult, lots of incline! I felt a lot better than I did on last week’s long run Felt quite tired from about 20km onwards and Had to really did in at times but pushed through it. Think it’s the first time I’ve ran for 3 hours plus ever!

These little wins are always important to celebrate. 3 hours is a long time to run, so really well done Andy. A big step forward in the marathon training. I’ve spoken to Sarah about the possibility of stepping back to the half marathon. It might be difficult for her at the moment as she’s finding it a bit tougher than you, so offer all the support you can, as I’m sure you already do, but I think it’s important, if she does drop down, she’s see that as good planning, rather than a failure. Plenty of time in the future for both of you to keep improving and getting stronger.
