Well… when I figure it out I’ll let you know!

This has been a question mark for me coming into this year. The answer for me is going to be trial and error.

Marathon #1 and #2 are 3 weeks apart, well, just under 3 weeks. Found the Excalibur One marathon quite tough, as it was pretty muddy and I’ve only run marathons previously on tarmac. So, was resting up afterwards, and once I’d missed some runs due to snow etc, before I knew it I’d had 8 days off!

So this week I’ve run 12 miles, and a couple of 7 mile runs, with a half marathon to come, so that will end up close to 40 miles, a big week for me.

Marathon #2 is next Friday, so a couple of short, quicker runs next week to keep the legs moving and that will be it.

Will that be a good approach? We will find out on 15th February in Folkestone!

After that it is just over 2 weeks until an early March marathon, so if I got it wrong we can try something different.
