Week 15 is shaping up to be my biggest week in terms of mileage in this training cycle. It started with a half-marathon Sunday and will end with a 34 km run tomorrow.
The week got off to a great start with a new half-marathon pb set on Sunday. That run set the tone for the rest of the week as I felt my other runs this week were also quality runs.
Following my half-marathon I had four 12 km runs scheduled, two of those at marathon pace and two of those at a very easy pace. I felt that my marathon pace efforts were really strong this week. On both occasions I had to remind myself to keep the pace at marathon pace.
So far my mileage for the week sits at just under 72 km. With 34 km planned for tomorrow I will have my first 100 km week of the training cycle.
How did your week go?
well done on the 100k. feels good eh?
My week was similar:
Mon: 12.5 easy
Tues: 12 easy
Weds: 11 medium effort
Thurs: 5 hills + 9k tempo (16.5k total)
Fri: rest
Sat: 32k with last 9 at MP
Sun: easy recovery 15k
total: 100.18k
My plan shows me on a rest/recovery week starting tomorrow, I think I’ll try and listen and dial it back a bit, but with the nicer weather, its hard to say no to a run.

It is a nice milestone to hit for sure. I have a hard time saying no to a run as well but I am going to force myself this week and stick to the plan.
