Heading for an 8km marathon
November 12th, 2006 by janetTime to update on my running training.
I’ve made the decision to lower my sights and aim for 5, 8 and 10 km marathons instead of the 21 km marathon. Reason? No, I’m not whimping out, I just think I should look after my ageing body a bit more. Last thing I want is double knee and hip replacements!
So the next marathon is on December 10, and is 8 kms. My training is improving out of sight. My ‘medium’ speed is now what used to be my ‘fast’ speed. I’m running 1 km efforts at a consistently fast pace, and my hill training is getting better and better. I even passed someone - a man, too - running up a hill last time!
It will be interesting to see how I go in the 8 km event, as I have no idea how to run it. I’m sure my coach will talk me through it…she can talk while she runs, whereas I just heavy breathe!Â
