I’m having a quiet weekend and so taking a break from my race reviews / race memories, but I thought I’d do a quick running update seeing as I’m on an extended break from my running vlog at the moment.
I am technically in the early stages of marathon training for the London Marathon, though the smattering of medical issues I’ve had over the last week or so mean that I’ve been taking it easy and not quite doing the high mileage just yet. I’m going to build it up very carefully over the next few weeks.
Though I’ve been very slow during this week, I’m still buzzing about my 10k PB from last weekend. It really proved to me that I’m not stuck on the slow path when it comes to races, and that I can run faster in the right conditions. I’m looking forward to parkrun starting again (current return date for England: 24th July), as it will mean I’ll be able to run in a race-type atmosphere every week.
July should also be a little bit easier than June in terms of my non-running life (I’ll still be coding but not frantically so, as there are no game competition deadlines!). As such, I’m hopeful about settling into a good marathon training groove. I’ll keep you posted!
