Blindman Trail Marathon Training – Week 8/12 – Day 1…6 Miles…πͺπΌ
Hi all. Now that my ‘down week’ is well and truly over, it’s time to start getting serious as i’m β into my training before the taper! π¨This is much easier to type than to actually do, lol…I’m going to need mechanomorphic legs to pull this one off! π€£
During my ‘down week’ i only did 1 lap (3miles) a day without doing a super long distance as i really wanted to rest…But now i have to do 2 laps (6 miles) a day as the minimum distance until my trail marathon! Oh and at some point this month i have to attempt my personal record by hitting the 20 miles mark…Now that’s going to hurt! I’m going to need all of the motivation i can get to get through the next 48 days!! π¨
I did manage the 2 laps today at an average pace of just under 4mph, i even stopped to take the photo above of the smaller stew pond…I blitzed the 2 laps as i just wanted to get back home as my body was still on rest mode and i was fighting it all of the way round the trail! But i still managed it without injury or drama, yay! π π
Let’s ‘FitBlitz’ 2022 together!! πͺπΌ

Hi, awww thank you so much! I hope it’s perseverance and not that i’m just stubborn as a mule, lol! π€£ I also know there are friends (like you) who’ll be reading so i’d better dig deep and stop complaining and keep fighting until i beat this enormous challenge for me…And most of all i have to remember that i’m doing it to raise funds for the MS Society in memory of my mum to help stop MS…No pressure at all, lol! π€£π
Thanks once again for your lovely comment, and for stopping by to read how it’s all going. Hope you’re staying safe and well? God bless you. π
