Week 12, Day 1
Phase: Marathon
Workout: 40 to 50 minute Easy Run
Purpose: Build Endurance
Here we go; day 78 of the 20 week training plan for the Richmond Marathon on November 15th.

Probably due to the demands of yesterday’s 22 miler, my left shin gave me some problems for a mile or two before calming down on the soft grass of the local soccer fields. I barely averaged less than eight minute miles for the five mile run and it was a little bit of a struggle to be honest.

For the first time in a while, I’m sat on the couch, icing my shin and hoping that tomorrow everything will be back to normal. We’ll see in the morning, but maybe Coach McMillan’s “this is a good week for recovery” note on the training plan isn’t such a bad idea after all….

For the record:

Distance: 5.06 miles
Time: 40:00
Pace: 7:55 per mile
