Me<\/strong><\/p>\n What a difference a week can make! I’m now nearly recovered from my period of man flu…fortunately it didn’t kill me off! Nick’s tip of the week<\/strong><\/p>\n If you have found yourself GPS watch watching too much during your training, religiously sticking to a pace per mile as opposed to effort level, then this one is for you…nice and simple…on recovery runs leave the watch at home. In fact this doesn’t have to be limited to recovery runs, it is important that you run on effort levels rather than sticking to a pace as sometimes you will just be tired and other days you will feel great.<\/p>\n I was wondering if there is anyone that has a question about their preparation for a Spring marathon you can pop your question at the bottom of the blog in the comments and I’ll incorporate the answer into next week’s tip of the week. No marathons this week, but I did spot there was a race in York called The Brass Monkey Half Marathon, what a great name. I don’t care about the results of this race, although it was won in a time of 1.10.19 for those interested.<\/p>\n
\nThis week’s training has gone much better and I have been really disciplined during sessions and have reaped the rewards of my hard work. Today I did a 140 minute long run around Richmond Park and couldn’t have asked for better conditions all considered. In the glorious sunshine and clear skies, conditions were ideal for runners and the hundred or so runners I saw seem to also agree. Although I did today’s run solo, I was fortunate enough to see several of my running friends also training hard around the beautiful royal park which made the run even more enjoyable. I have been absolutely buzzing from today’s run, I love marathon training!<\/p>\n
