Hi all, welcome back!
Sunday early mornings are my time to go for a long run. My wife and kids are still sleeping when I leave and when I get back I still have a full day left of family time!
Last week @danielvehe accepted me to the #hiverun team! Which is very cool as I am looking forward to represent Hive’s own runningteam!
In 14 days I will run my first beach marathon Link . While having done multiple city marathons I still have 0 idea how hard this going to be. 2 months after I have a safer city marathon planned. Link .
Normally I would start taper phase 3 weeks before the event and reduce the weekly km significantly after peak week (85km). Because the short amount of time between the two events I aim to treat the beach marathon as just another long run (and not race it), therefore my taper will start later and with a lower reduction of km. So I can peak 4 weeks after the first event again and race Rotterdam.
Weekly progress:
This week I did 7 runs on 5 days totalling 71km. On the days where you see 2 workouts I started with a tempo run (+/- 5km) and took a minute to catch a breath and did another type of trainingrun (recovery and zone 3 run).
Today’s run
For today I wanted to run on a pace slightly below my race day pace. I tried to keep my heartbeat below 155 bpm.
As I would go for a run longer than 21km I bring some nutricion with me. The 1L water with electrolyte is pretty nice if you put it in the refrigerator the evening before.
my route was another mix of paved, unpaved and (unpaved and very muddy) undergrounds.
Overal, it was a fun run and a great way to start the Sunday
Happy running!
