It's time for another running update from me 😁🏃🏻♂️
I was a little sick after the Wellington half, and cold, rainy, and dark weather didn't do well for my running motivation.
With spring creeping around the corner, I am looking forward to my next few races:
On 21 September, I'll run the Lower Hutt Half again, completely in preparation for the Melbourne full marathon 3 weeks later. I'm very much looking forward to it!
This will be my first major city marathon. Rather than running top 10-15 in a race, in Melbourne I'm probably only going to run around 50th place 😅. This is absolutely what I want.
In all my recent half-marathon PBs, I always had a group to run with. This hasn't really been the case in marathons, however. I'm curious how much I can improve my time if I can run together with a few strong guys for the biggest part of the race.
In the next few weeks, I'm gradually going to increase my mileage again, aiming for a few 140 km weeks in September.
