Tonight I want to go for about an hour run, tomorrow (Saturday) morning around 2 hours. My current plan is to slowly build this up to two hours/four hours in preparation for my 80K/50M race in June. The Friday night runs will be at a faster tempo, the Saturday morning runs will be hilly runs whenever possible. If this doesn't work out with my wife's schedule I'll shift the runs to Saturday and Sunday mornings (eliminating any chance for sleeping in).
I was looking over my race dream list last night and realized I have a marathon (or longer), a half-marathon and at least one 10K on the calendar for every month through October! Hmmm, maybe that is too much…
Events for April:
April 1: Stutensee Stadlauf (10K village run in the neighboring town of Blankenloch).
April 14: Straubenhardter Panoramalauf: A hilly half-marathon in the foothills of the Black Forest.
April 22: Northern Black Forest Marathon: A hilly marathon in Egenhausen, also in the foothills of the Black Forest. This will be a training run, my goal around 5 hours. Last year I finished the marathon in 4:42:00. The course is a good mix of forest paths, hills and asphalt.
Fall Marathon - Part II
I was talking to my wife about the Baden Marathon in Karlsruhe in September, she has more or less given me her blessing. I was also looking over a sub-4 hour training plan last night that sounds like it will fit to my schedule...
Too much? Too much what? Fun? Looks to me like you are having fun planning - and the plan looks good! I hope you get that sleep-in day every week!
