Final 2 months

Its been a tough ride. But through it, i probably will enjoy it when looking back.
Trying to be pro, scheduling n planning those 33k runs.
It aint easy.

Ok. My final 8 wks of buildup. I had set my goal and target. It will be my best shot.

For the past month, it has been strenght endurance.
Building my body and muscles to withstand the marathon distance.
Also mentally to be used to the distance.

Now, it is the time to run fast.

For the AHM, etc, I peaked 1 - 2 wks too early with my intervals.
I do believe that i can reach my peak in 4 - 5 wks of intervals, of course with my norm aerobic runs.
Thereafter, its a feeling of staleness and where to go?

So for SC, I plan to hit it exactly right.

Working backwards:
WK 8 - Race week, can probably do a session, 3/4 , etc , a "buffer"
WK 7 - 800m x 6
WK 6 - 600m x 8
WK 5 - 400m x 12 NB real run
Wk 4 - Hills / 300m x 10
Wk 3 - 300m x 10 , North Face 50k
Wk 2 - Hills , 10k elite TT
Wk 1 - 300m x 10 (tomorrow)

Target pace is 5k / 1500m pace.
Aim is to build efficiency. EG. if i am training at 80s/400m pace, and race, i need to do 96s/400m pace, i shld be very comfortable.

The 300m sessions are the transition phase, where i build in the "fast legs", targeting 17s/100m, so 20s/100m for the real intervals will be easy.

Of course, my sessions will be supplemented with long runs or fast long runs, where the distance is shorter and tempos/lane 8 sessions, etc.

Havent been running fast, but have to be patient and hold it. Dun wan to be running fast now when the race is still 8 wks again.

Oh ya, i have to lose like 5kg. Shld check my eating habits well now on.

This is the target.
