This is were the speed starts to play a more important role in proceedings. The easy long run on a Thursday is replaced with steady session building from 10 miles - 7.30 min pace as the long runs on a Sunday move to steady and marathon pace efforts. This build part of the programme ends in five weeks with the start of the taper. This is the most important part of the training. A good 5 week block can see you peaking at the right time for the marathon and and a poor set will see your time suffer. Time to get the nutrition and hydration strategies dialled in and catch up on the sleep. Caught up on some sleep this morning as could not raise myself out of bed to do either a cycle or a run. Will try tonight after vast amounts of Amy's cake. Better confirm the weight this morning was 80.1 kgs as the cake may take a bit of shifting after this evening.
Heavy legs this morning so glad that I am able to sit on the bike tonight. Listened to Danny Baker and enjoyed a comfortable 40 minutes spinning at around 90 rpm. That was after I came off the rollers and almost careered into the door. It was a bit of a mess but only pride hurt I am glad to say. Definitely needed to sit on the bike as I pigged out somewhat on the food front. The Chinese meal and all that cake - I could feel it sitting in my stomach. I am eating like a horse at the moment - just as well I have the running to keep the weight in check.
Todays diet included -
Breakfast - Large bowl of porridge with sultanas, cup of tea, 2 slices bread and marmalade
Lunch - Banana, 2X GB muffins (those flat ones), apple
Dinner - Dim sum, spring rolls, lemon chicken, chilli chicken, some meat dish, rice
After - 2 cups of tea, 2 slices bread butter and marmalade, half a french loaf with butter and marmalade.
Numbers - 40 mins - cadence 90 - HR maxed at 116
