Well the race schedule looks like this...
16-08-15 Half marathon
06-09-15 Half marathon
27-09-15 10km
Two of my planned races have been cancelled, a 10km and a half Mara so schedule is looking a little bare. Will have to see what I can find!
Half Marathon in two weeks time so I guess I should go straight into week two of a cycle and build up to race day again. Will stick to sub 45 cycle elements for now.
With the two half marathons coming up will use these to build up some more strength in legs. In between the two half marathons I have my Children for 10 days so running is going to be minimal. Will treat this as off period as have now been training with intensity for a few months. The first week of Sept will be build up (including half on 06/09) then into cycle from the 07/09/15 leading to 10km race on 27th Sept. The question is TheEd, do you think this would be an appropriate time to start a sub 40 cycle? The feedback I received from more experienced club runners yesterday was had the race been on roads instead of multiterrain with sharp corners and dodgy bridge crossings I have easily gone sub 41... They reckon I can go sub 40 soon but I said next year :laugh:
