Time to start training for the marathon in earnest
Took some time off to fight some burnout. Now, 11 weeks from the race, I'm ready to get going. It wasn't a complete break, I still did some running and cycling, but it was enough to let my body recover some. The goal for today's run was to go for 90 minutes. I got a late start because I was out late last night going to the Gator game, but I still did 85 minutes. Thursday will be an alternating pace run totaling 10k (25 laps alternating between 5k pace and marathon pace). Then Saturday I'm supposed to do a long-ish run at race pace. Not sure how far I will go yet.
In the past, I have peaked early when marathon training, so maybe this is the right approach. . .
