I don’t think you could of executed this plan any better. I’m so pleased. The marathon is just the icing on the cake. Try not to other think it. It’s just another long run, and if you are anxious about sleep, just know you’ll be done around lunch time, so it’s not that important to get a great nights sleep. Those two thoughts have helped relax me in the past. But you are ready and I’m confident you’ll have a fantastic day. Go smash it Emily. And don’t get caught up in worrying about a time, that’s not important here, getting to the finish line is all that matters, regardless how long it takes.

I was so excited to get out a run in the sun! It was so nice starting a run without feeling chilly! I wen to thr country park but walked up all the hills/steps
Great work Emily. I was watching the HHM cone video this morning whilst eating my breakfast. I didn’t have my glasses on so it was a bit blurry. As a running coach you do judge runners form and naturally at the top of the hill, where the chap was filming most of the participants are tired with pretty poor form. Occasionally a runner comes up that looks strong, but one particular runner stood out and as I was munching on my granola I thought “wow she looks strong” and without my glasses couldn’t make out who it was at first. Any guesses? It was you!!! So I had to share this, totally true by the way, I don’t make this stuff up 😂

I’m chuffed you thought I looked strong at the top of a hill. This information bodes well for Sunday 🤣 I can’t believe the last run of the training program is done! It’s actually been really lovely to taper but I’m super excited to get back out there now! Thank you so much for the best training programme. I’ve had such a good time and have achieved so much even before the race. Thank you coach 👊🏻🍊
Thank you, that is such lovely feedback. It should be a great day tomorrow. Go out there and enjoy it. You’ll be a marathon runner in just over a days time. How exciting is that?

Marathon

Had the best day!! I followed your advice and barely looked at my watch so I just ran at a pace which felt good. I got the dreaded stitch again – it kept happening after everything I ate so I stuck to gels and took on lots of water and mum saved me with some paracetamol which helped a lot! It was such a brilliant race and so much fun – even on the hills. My watch stopped working when I joined the road runners and the signs for mileage were not the same for trails so I had no idea how long I had left to run. I didn’t even realise I went over the finish line hahahha overall brilliant day and thank you so so much for the programme, motivation and kind words of encouragement! It’s been fantastic being past of team orange 🍊 I’m sad I don’t have a plan to follow this week – but it will be nice to have some recovery time 🤣
Ah, I love this feedback. So glad you had such a lovely time. I think the splits at the end where you finished so strong show what a brilliant race you had. You’ve done incredible on this plan and to execute a first marathon that well, it’s almost unheard of. It’s been a blast and would love to keep working with you. All the hard work you put in certainly paid off today. Fantastic running Emily. We did see your mum the day before actually and I’m sure she is incredibly proud.
