Boston Training - 'Weeks Eight And Nine' Write-Up And 'Week Ten' Look-Ahead

Life (and training) has overtaken my blogging recently, so I have two weeks to update.

Running Log: Week Eight

Day	Scheduled Run	Actual Run
Sunday	Rest	Rest
Monday	Rest	Rest
Tuesday	15km comfortable	15km comfortable
Wednesday	10km recovery	10km comfortable
Thursday	15km comfortable	Rest
Friday	Rest	15km comfortable
Saturday	10km recovery	Rest
Total	50km week	40km week

A bad week, all told. We had a big snowstorm on Friday night, so I didn't run on Saturday. We've had over 50cm of snow here in the last week.

Running Log: Week Nine

Day	Scheduled Run	Actual Run
Sunday	28km steady	27km steady
Monday	Rest	Rest
Tuesday	22km c/t	23km c/t
Wednesday	10km recovery	10km recovery
Thursday	15km hilly	Rest
Friday	Rest	15km hilly
Saturday	15km recovery	15km recovery
Total	90km week	90km week

This week was much better. Despite the snow I got all the runs in, including a hard tempo run on Tuesday that left me just 1 minute away from my half-marathon personal best with juice still in the tank.

Training Program: Week Ten

Day	Scheduled Run
Sunday	25km marathon pace
Monday	Rest
Tuesday	22km comfortable
Wednesday	15km recovery
Thursday	15km hilly
Friday	Rest
Saturday	15km recovery
Total	92km week

Another busy week this week, before a slower week in the run-up to a half-marathon race. Tomorrow's run will be tough; even tougher if I take up my friend on the offer of a 32km run. The mid-week runs are more about distance than speed, although there's another hill run on Thursday.

My focus right now is whether my left leg will stand up to this increased mileage.

So far, so good.
