Hi Jamie, you must be careful mixing up the speedwork and the marathon distance on the last 6 weeks

You have developed the speed now you need to get the mindset of the marathoner right

I am very aware of how 'elite' athletes train for the marathon and the often made mistakes off people training towards the marathon trying to mimic what they do.

My advice is 'always' don't do what others do but what works for you and the biggest aim should also be to stay healthy

many athletes over the year have run 21k PB's 2 weeks before the marathon but have not been able to achieve their marathon race goal

I am mentioning this so you stop testing yourself regarding 'how you feel'

5 weeks to go the legs should be fatigued but not one must avoid injury, so ice and do recuperative 'things' to assist your legs etc

hopefully the 30k run goes well today
