I wasn’t sure if the weekend was free? On the plan I had blanked out the weekdays. Really hope the conference goes well. Out of interest, what is it you talk about? Always keen to learn more about the team, we have some interesting occupations among the current bunch. Possibly the most bizarre being Claudia Winkleman’s personal hairdresser.
It was unrealistic thinking I could do anything this week with the conference. Got 5km done today, just so something was done. Next week should be fine.
I’m on the global executive of a large audit and advisory firm, so I end up on stage a fair bit at these conferences and if not on stage then I’m in meetings, side meetings, dinners etc from first thing in the morning until late at night.
That sounds quite daunting to me. Respect. You know what though, fair play to you for still taking time to look after your fitness and attempt a marathon. And for me as a coach a challenge like this can be quite exciting. Anyone who has lots of time can easily do well, simply by running more miles. I like working with runners with less time of perhaps injury history where I really have to try and juggle things around and make the best use of limited availability. It’s a puzzle I enjoy trying to solve and hopefully, despite your busy work schedule, I can get you in good shape for the start line at Brighton.

The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.
Keep it easy but also focus on good form. If you can increase your cadence without raising your heart rate, then give it a go.
