So it's just a little short of a fortnight before Marathon Number 2 in this year's challenge. My training has gone okay since the King Island Imperial 20 miler (32km) about three weeks ago, although I probably should have got at least two more 30 plus km runs under my belt (I only ran one).
What does this mean? Well the downside is probably that I will be a little underdone again for the Canberra marathon on 13 April. But the upside is that I have probably enjoyed a better recovery from King Island than I had planned.
I'm really looking forward to the run in Canberra as it is bound to be a lot cooler than Hobart was in January, and given my druthers, I would run in the cold any day of the week (within reason). But I am also looking forward to catching up with a an old Navy mate of mine in Canberra for his 40th birthday the night before - won't that be a tame celebration for me?
The plan for the next couple of weeks is to continue with my standard training. The only concession I am going to make for a semi taper is that I will cut my long run back this coming weekend to 20km, and I'll miss the middle distance 20km run in the middle of next week.
Canberra - here we come.
