I’m in among the other 35000 runners for the Paris marathon on April 15th. My good friend John, is in as well and gave me the necessary motivation. It’ll be great to run/suffer together.
I’m going to document my preparation here. Today is 15 Jan so that gives me exactly 3 months to get ready.
In December I had a few good running weeks where I did around 50ks. Then, during the holidays I was at the chalet with snow everywhere so I took a week off.
In January I plan on logging 60ks each week, with about 4 or 5 runs per week. In Feb. I’ll bump that up to 65ks, In March, 70ks with 2 weeks at 80ks before tapering off over the last 10 days before the race.
This week I hit my 60k objective, doing a good 23ks today, not fast, but just that’s ok for now. I’m just building up a mileage base.
