Mon 30 Mar - 9 miles race pace. I still have that nagging knot in my left shoulder. I tried auto-massage and rolling on a tennis ball but it persists. I know this will become a nagging pain in Boston so I will keep working on it every night. Today I did some chin ups and static stretches from the chin up bar to try and reach the muscle. It is a little better but not completely gone yet.
Tue 31 Mar - 6 miles race pace. Shoulder seems a little looser today. I'll keep working at it. I am starting to feel comfortable at race pace. The test is really whether I can sustain it for 3+ hours...I really get hot after just one hour at this pace, so a good hydration strategy will be critical during the marathon.
Wed 1 Apr - April fools! no run today.
Thu 2 Apr - 8 km TT run. 10 km total. I had to walk for a minute on two occasions. I think I am getting tired. I will have to get to bed earlier...
Fri 3 Apr - 6x800 Intervals. I felt strong running these today and progressively increased my speed at each interval. I ran the last two km (cool down after the intervals) at just under race pace to bring the total to 10km for the workout then I did some calf and leg stretches. I looked at the Boston marathon route for the first time today - I got my registrants kit in the mail yesterday - I am really looking forward to this experience....
Sat 4 Apr - Day off today. Started spring cleaning in the house. I have to put some stuff together to ring to the TNT garage sale next weekend. I also have to look into putting together a learn to run training plan for some of Chantal's work colleagues. This should be a fun experience and I m looking forward it.
Total weekly mileage : 45 km
