Another Plan (Synopsis)

  • Wednesday 14.3. -12K- 62 min - Lighter every day, but still dark at 8 pm. Somehow I managed to sleep too long in the morning. Evening is the most "natural" time for me to run and the night to work ... anyway schedules under the last two weeks have been kind of an organzation task. This situation will change from the beginning of the next week and then I have more options to choose my running times.
  • Tuesday 13.3. -9K- 50 min - Really dark, slippery road (ice, +-0 Celcius). Silence. Really nice feeling to run after the long run. Easy, tasty & free.
  • Monday 12.3. - Rest, no running, no exercise except some walking in the city.
A very short synopsis of my training plan: some ten weeks of "normal" marathon training with increasing intensity till the end of May. About 5-6 runs a week, 70-80K, one long run a week plus another longer than usual run during the week. Two runs with some speed/intervals, two easy runs.

After the ten weeks' basic period a two or three weeks' period of rest with low intensity training. After that a marathon in June (Suomi -Juoksu, 9.6.) . After the marathon begins the 8 week period of ultra training, meaning a lot more distance running and cycling than before.
