whenever i feel slower than usual (usually when marathon training) i tend to put things like mile reps into my weekly training...not every week, just every other...it sure helps me.
hi john, the biggest advice i can give to you would be to join a club....i too was massively losing interest and motivation in running as a whole until i plucked up the courage to try out beginners night at my local club and i'd not looked back since...
i'd seen the club out running as a large group when i was out by myself and thought i'd give it a go...
i have a training question and wondered what you thought......i have 3-4 weeks to go until i run the Brighton Marathon in the UK and i was wondering what you think the single biggest thing i can do help me hit my target time of 3.10 is in the last few weeks ?? what will give me the biggest gains ? i've done all the long runs, weekly speedwork and hills and i'm now just starting to taper....i have a habit of going off waaaay to quickly in races so maybe if i can just run smart i will run well ?
i have run 3.32 and 3.22 both last year and would really like to take a step closer to sub 3hrs this year with a 3.10.
any ideas or advice your can give me would be massively appreciated.
