Howdy folks
I am a little disappointed with my training the last couple of days. That is why tomorrow I want to make up for it with a seriously hardcore training day. Last Saturday I rested and on Sunday was just the snowshoe hike. On Monday all I did was Pilates and today I have been running, but only for 11.15km. The reason I didn't do as much as normal is because I have been a little under the weather. I had a sore throat and was a bit bunged up. That in turn affected my sleep and so I didn't have as much energy as normal. I seem to be over it now though so I want to get stuck right in.
Now no promises here, but my ideal would be to go to the 6.30am hot yoga class tomorrow, then I would get back with plenty of time to go for a really long run. It will take me a lot of motivation to get up that early though. Usually I find when I state my plan publicly it is much easier to do, as I feel some kind of obligation to follow through with it. That is also one reason for writing this post. If I don't manage to make the 6.30am class I can still get up fairly early and go for a long run anyway.
As I haven't done that much running with a rucksack, I will make sure I run with one tomorrow. I think the ideal weight to try out would be 7.5kg so I can see how it feels to run with that. I don't intend for my pack to be heavier than that at the start of the Marathon des Sables, and as the race goes on my pack will become lighter and lighter. I should also try and stick to off road to mimic the terrain I will be racing on.
