First marathon in 2016. Still not ready or at least that how I feel. But I had to try. Try myself. And besides that there was AGM after the run. So, I was on the road again, driving towards Lilliput to see my running friends and to run with them. Lilliput is not even a hour drive so early morning and into the car. Morning was actually grand, not too cold and it wasn’t raining…
‘Daniels’ running formula’
After breaking my body and as well my spirit I had to focus on getting back to shape. Fitness classes helped without a doubts but I need to do more to get back on track. This year I was running ‘like stupid’ trying to get into everything I could. Giving everything I had and not thinking about any recovery. 2016 will be quality time not just quantity. This year I want to get results, 100 marathons mark can wait…
Don’t slip now
Hopefully I won’t. New season is starting soon. Actually, I can’t say if there is another season or the running is just continuing… All I know is that main marathon race should be in Malta at the end of February, so it’s just over two months from now. And I need to get my preparation in order. No slip-ups now.
THE PLAN
Recently I was checking races for next year… which I can run, which I will need to pass and which I can run outside of Ireland.
I wanted to do maybe 4 foreign ones and the rest in here, in Ireland. Planned as well maybe 1 or 2 longer runs – ultra and that was already sorted out by My Wife when she have signed me into 50 KM run in Donadea in February. That was the plan. Quiet but still pushing me to get more marathon runs…
