Lowrez - hope those you can get those niggles sorted soon.
Dubai - i spotted that as well, but yes, that is his program i am following. You get access to various schedules, essentially all the major medal cut offs and you can jump between them if you feel the need. At the moment, it is aimed at a qualifying marathon on the 17th November so is geared towards that with the type of sessions you do, then recovery until Christmas and then in the New Year it ramps up again. If want any more info, just ask....
Keep yourself healthy and enjoy your last couple before the big day. And please have some rest, you so deserve it
SS - Thanks
Debra - nearly there too! Good luck for your next two.
Coaching - I got myself a coach (a friend of a friend) in December when I found myself entered for Comrades, Western States and Hardrock in 2019.
It costs a fair bit but I get a day-by-day schedule, a Skype call every fortnight and can e-mail queries.
It has really worked well for me and I am pretty certain that I would not have finished Western States without her help.
She’s trying to get me trained up for a Comrades / Hardrock double in 2020.
Given I'd apparently recovered well from the last run I pushed out the boat a bit and ran half marathon distance (in 2:23 which would scrape me Comrades qualifier if I tag another half on the end - ha ha). Conscious I am not playing this by the book having started at 5 from nowhere, bumped to 8 last weekend and now 13, but I do call myself an ultra runner! Left hip and ham once again conspired to mildly worry me for most of it, but nothing broke, and I reasoned nothing is going to be perfect on this journey back, so told the old bones to shut up and kept going. Was giggling at something a friend said; Make sure you get your money's worth out of the Phys on Wednesday; go along in complete pieces and get them to fix you! I am sure that won't be the case, but I will have plenty to discuss!
Marty congrats on the 100, and everyone else congrats on some excellent running. Welcome to the newbies too.
I am currently on the injured list, everytime I run my knee starts to hurt at about the 5km point so going to have to give it a rest for a couple of weeks. I can still cycle so just doing that to keep fit.
Can't get onto the Comrades site.
