Subject: Mary 12 weeks post IM So I did IMLP on 7/27. Not a blazing effort, but I still needed a bit of time to recover. I took off 2 weeks completely. I started slowly and had some PF issues. I am now running pain free and I am up to a 14 mile long run at my decent long run pace.
The Mary is just over 4 weeks away. I am not expecting a PR, but I hope to run under 4 hours (PR is 3:48 ). Any thoughts on getting in 15-16 this week and a single 20 miler 2 1/2 weeks out, then doing the full, or should I just ease it back and try to run a faster 1/2?
How much does all of my endurance gained over the summer for the IM count now? Did I lose much of the gains in the 2 weeks off, then the 2+weeks of limping through PF?
Thanks |
