Massive 2022 - here’s how it’s done
New year and absolutely new way about doing things
Happy Christmas - re planning
Learning to do what’s needed and not always what you want
Sadly - no Houston marathon
Body just didn’t build the consistency in training needed to run fast
Poor body - Rest or bike
Sadly body seems hurt and Houston might not be looking good
18 hours at sea level - back to 7000ft
Great sea level session, hip ok. Back to altitude
Still in USA - 4.5 weeks to Houston
Euro XC was awesome,
Training has been ok
6.5 weeks to Houston - no excuses
The goal is no excuses and eliminating anything that can be considered an excuse
Training specifically beats training harder
Ability to train smartly, will trump training hard,
I probably trained harder than ever for Boston, but not smartly and it was my slowest ever marathon
Training advice part 1
Threshold testing and advice surrounding training and yearly progression
Training advice part 2
Diving deeper into testing and advice of progression
You’re just not the same animal as one year ago, time to rebuild
Rebuilding
Boston - what I needed? Not the dream day
Perhaps the day I needed and not the day I wanted
48 hours to Boston - excited “really for 26 miles” you’re crazy man
Love Boston
