23 easy paced miles 👊🏿
I say easy paced, but actually it was a whole mental battle from mile 14 and I had to take it mile by mile. It did not feel easy!

Marathon training never gets easier, but you sure learn how to build up resilience and grit. Fingers crossed Pisa doesn’t feel like this on the day!

3 weeks until Pisa marathon …

Ok ok ok as much as I complain about the drop in temperature in the UK during autumn and winter, I have to admit when it’s not wet and cold, there is something special about the crisp air and crunchy leaves that makes you want to spend time outdoors!

Wouldn’t you agree?

Legs running like clockwork this week, juggling lots of social events and ending with a Sunday long run of 21 miles. Great bumping into @olgs_fitness , chatting easy miles for a brief period!

Running the double digit distances never gets easier and in that way, training for a marathon regardless of the time you’re targeting is a humbling experience.

Getting it done 👊🏿

It’s so hard to get out and run when its cold as ice and the rain is POURING. No matter what people say about how it’s a case of wearing the right gear and fail to prepare, prepare to fail, being outside in the colder months is hard. I much prefer wearing shorts and T-shirt in hotter weather!

And so it’s a case of discipline over motivation and getting it done 👊🏿

Feeling strong and good about myself when squats, deadlifts and hang clean & split jerks are on the plan💪🏾💥
The moment hang snatches are on there, now that’s a different story…🤡💀

Anyone else relate?

New week, new opportunities🙌🏿

This week involves re-attempting last week’s speed session (aborted half way) and a 20 miler with a big marathon paced sandwich.

This weather makes it so hard to want to show up and I’m questioning my rationale behind signing up for a winter marathon.

I’ve goals I want to achieve and the weather is one factor that’s out of my control, so…let’s push on 👊🏿👊🏿

19 miles of cold, very wet, and windy weather, playing dodge the cars driving through puddles but also enjoying running through puddles today. I’d like the sunshine back please 🙏🏾!

The first Sunday of the month meant an obligatory @bababoomlondon #kebabchase. The distance between the Battersea and Stratford branches is just under 10 miles but with some @strava route planning, managed to add in 9miles into the route.

The last FOUR miles was when the torrential rain and wind hit hard. Questioning why I ever decided to run a winter marathon and wanting to give up at mile 16 so so much because of the weather.

The @bababoomlondon kebab tasted even better after all those miles in the cold and rain!

Would you brave the rain for a run?

Wake up good ✅
Slept well ✅
Felt session went well ✅

Oh hang on, watch says otherwise . Makes you question your progress doesn’t it?

But I guess, it’s also a good reminder to listen to your body and not always the data on your watch!
