Could you leave the 'speedwork' for the first part (10 days) of the final three weeks? A question for Mystery Coach perhaps.<BR/><BR/>By the way, my Mum's are the best!Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15317841.post-80248088505179488722007-09-26T16:28:00.000+09:002007-09-26T16:28:00.000+09:00congratulations for another great week! will be ha...congratulations for another great week! will be hard to follow you in ohtawara...<BR/><BR/>hm, 8 weeks to go for me, too. final 2 weeks is tapering, but how to spend the rest? you'll definitely make the optimal plan for these. i'll ask you about that ;-)Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08841579577255670339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15317841.post-36884655502073963462007-09-25T19:03:00.000+09:002007-09-25T19:03:00.000+09:00Yes, Mum's Anzac biscuits are good tucker.

I have everything I need to make them here bar some dessicated coconut, which I can probably track down if I try.<BR/><BR/>Ewen, the marathon is Friday November 23rd. So I'm thinking freshening up this week (though what shape that should take I'm not sure ... easier to just keep running 1/4 & half efforts every day -- failing to plan 2P...I know, I know), two weeks of conditioning with some solid upper aerobic runs. Then speed work for two weeks, then co-ordination + taper for the final three weeks...I'm sure I can improve on this as it is the final phase that I seem to have been getting wrong.Stephen Laceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10985763302279648129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15317841.post-58642560923798508192007-09-25T18:45:00.000+09:002007-09-25T18:45:00.000+09:00That was a bit wordy from Scott - he must have bee...That was a bit wordy from Scott - he must have been excited by the image of blackened fish.<BR/><BR/>I will not condemn you for having a rest day (cough, splutter). The mention of golden syrup reminds me of Mum's Anzac biscuits.<BR/><BR/>Sounds like getting the mileage bedded down with 1/4 and 1/2 efforts first is preferable.

You'll end up like Eagle, at close to 60, running a marathon every other month and costantly running obscene distances with seemly no ill effect. Could be worse.<BR/><BR/>It's amazing how on many occasions the body adapts, nay, thrives on the punishment one gives it<BR/><BR/>I'd say these long weeks suit you as much as being behind the grill.<BR/>You're really cooking Steve, full steam ahead!<BR/><BR/>These public holidays are great aren't they, so many of the bloody things. The Japanese really don't fully deserve their reputation for being workaholics, I reckon.Samurai Runninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12295160713705142193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15317841.post-82221080334798775122007-09-25T13:16:00.000+09:002007-09-25T13:16:00.000+09:00Do you think there will be enough time for race sp...Do you think there will be enough time for race specific training if you keep the conditioning going for much longer?MilesandMileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09679885793605209321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15317841.post-80959324897741884682007-09-25T12:25:00.000+09:002007-09-25T12:25:00.000+09:00You know the old cliche - if you are failing to pl...You know the old cliche - if you are failing to plan, then you are planning to fail...<BR/><BR/>And whilst I'm a 2P - I like the 6P rule :-)2Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00016333222687724233noreply@blogger.com
