Update: I changed my marathon training plan
Just over a month ago, I asked this community whether my marathon training plan looked okay. It was a plan to prepare me for a marathon in mid-October. Because of family commitments, it was built around three runs per week, and my goal time was 3:15.
I received a lot of valuable feedback. The main point was that my weekly mileage was probably too low, and many of you suggested I read up on some of the well-known marathon training plans.
So that's exactly what I did. I spent time learning more about marathon training, increased my mileage, and even bought a good second-hand treadmill so I can do my easy runs while my wife is out doing her sport.
Missed one weekend long run along the way. Last week I ran five times for a total of 62.5 km (39miles), and it felt great! Will do 4-5 runs from now on. The plan is to gradually build up to a peak of around 85 km (53 miles) in September.
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who took the time to give me feedback. It really opened my eyes, and I'm now more motivated than ever.
Hopefully I'll have a successful marathon report to share with you in October.
