August Deets!

Slipped off the wagon this month, it was, to be honest, expected, a combination of 17 days of travel and taper were the culprits.

• 216 total miles (-272 over July)
• 28:04 time, so about 7 hours a week (around a 5 hour per week loss)
• 149 miles (July 197 miles) running in 20:28 (July 27:59)
• 58 miles (June 287miles) cycling in 3:38 (July 17:23)
• Remaining time was stretching, foam rolling etc and I am also trying to get to the P90X Ab Ripper workout 3 times a week, I managed only 3 times this month
• Longest ride 25 miles – 1:30
• Longest run 13.1 – 1:28 (A Race)
• Starting weight 168lb ending 166.8lb (from 187 at end of April)
• Nine rest days…well I was on vacation for 10 days!

Wow now I have written it down that was quite some difference, but in all fairness it was all targeted towards my A race and my goal which was achieved. So with mission accomplished  I am mixing it up a bit. According to my training bible I should be able to run a 3:09 marathon…I am not so sure but I think I could land somewhere between 3:20 and 3:30 and to be honest with the HM training in the bank I am shifting focus onto the Marathon.

Now this means that I need to look at what I had planned so I am nixxing the Eco Marathon, to be honest it was an expensive race to enter and the hotel and boat trip only made it more so so for around 50% I am all signed up for:

Training started this week…here we go again!
