The London Marathon has now been and gone, the body has been recovering nicely, determination and motivation are ever present and I am looking forward towards achieving my next goals in running. I do have a 2:24.35 to beat. However mindful not to do too much, too soon!
Tonight around 10 days post marathon, I am making the return to some speedier running. Awakening my legs from the post marathon blues and hibernation ready to kick on and ignite something special over the shorter distance stuff throughout the summer period of training.
Take a watch to see just what my session entails, understand mine and Naomi’s different approaches to training and whether banking a session was a good idea or not! Keeping it simple is always the key.
The session made a whole world easier by training in a brilliant group of people, like-minded people who are willing to meet up and get the job done together.
