This week is all about resting up, keeping the legs ticking over but nice and fresh for Boston. Hopefully the thigh niggle will appreciate the lighter work and will be good to go in 7 days time. Any issues let me know, but very close now, so exciting.

Should feel relatively comfortable this, but always good to get some extra miles in at goal pace.

12pts | 40 Mins Run

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.

Easier to answer on here. Saw a physio yesterday. The thigh issue is actually a strained hamstring, as in strain, not tear. It’s improved progressively over the week, & the physio has given me some exercises. So we fly tmw am, and will take it from there! Not ideal, but I’ve run boston before, & I have another bq in me. So I can’t complain, many hard training runners will never get a bq, or run Boston. Btw, I should add that this is nothing to do with your plan. I should have got the ‘thigh strain’ diagnosed after lydd, and I handled the Dulwich 10 very poorly – a story for another day. So this latest challenge is solely on me, and it’s for me to deal with. I will walk the Jamaica pond pr with my wife on sat, & if able start the mara on sun, running as my body feels. I’ll carry my mobile, which I never do, & if I have to drop out, my wife will pick me up. All being well, I’ll get around in under 5hrs, and reset for Venice. Obv, if I’m coping with 5 hr pace at half way, I’ll be trying for 4:30, and so on!
Thank you for the update. Really hope the exercises and rest do the trick and you can have a nice trip and get some miles in. 26.2 would be ideal, but not at the expense of a layoff.
