Ran a marathon last weekend-legs fine the next day. Did 35 minutes of single leg body weight strength yesterday…legs rekt today.
I really need to get stronger.
Ran a trail race on the weekend, which I haven’t done in a very long time. It was a short snappy 16km route. Well it had a 6km climb at the start…got the W. Which was very nice.
Every person who finished the Cape Town Marathon in a pair of adidas, was given a pair of Pro 3’s. 🤯.
Or you could choose Boston 12s. Naturally I went with the AP3s.
Charts are looking Bullish for Cape Town Marathon in two weeks. The goal pace is finally feeling realistic. It has taken a lot of long speed work sessions to get to this point.
The idea with the progression long run is to run at goal pace when you are already tired, getting the body and mind prepped to be hurting but still moving at a good clip.
It works. The last 10km took a lot of focus, but it has built the confidence.
