Part 3/6:
Wednesday: Depending on how my body feels, I’ll either engage in an easy run or take a rest day, ensuring I don’t push myself too much too soon.
Thursday: Strength training is woven into the plan to build a well-rounded body, vital for sustaining long distances and maintaining proper posture throughout the marathon.
Friday: Mid-long runs will alternate in pace, initially maintaining an easy pace and gradually ramping up, allowing me to prepare for running the latter parts of the marathon at race pace.
Saturday: The highlight of my week will be the long runs, a joyful yet challenging aspect. Unlike last year where I dreaded solitary long runs, I aim to join running clubs this time for motivation and social interaction.
