Hi TheEd,
thinking somehow very similar to what you think... It is really fun now, would be great to go on like this.
And your schedules worked great for the distances above 10k! I will see how it goes for the 20k on Feb 14 (goal sub 1:11).
I am already registered for the marathon... But I will slot in more 10ks, racing is just too much fun.
I will add another trail/XC-10k before the 20k. And a 10k 3-weeks before the marathon (the long runs have to be mid-week then). So the new racing schedule looks like this:
Jan 31: 10k trail
Feb 6: 20k (sub 1:11 -> series sub 2:39)
**
March 13: HM (sub 1:15)
March 20: 10k (see what the M-training brought for 10ks)
April 10: M (sub 2:40)
** Strart of "M-training" on Feb 14: 35k on Sundays and threshold runs on Tuesdays. Having the threshold runs in addition to the long runs and Intervals is somehow mentally important for me. I appreciate the big progress I made on your programs, but for the Marathon I just want to repeat what worked well for me.
