Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Hang on,@Welshpoppy, your schedule says a marathon? Maybe you've changed plans.

Anyway, as above, but I'll also say that off that weekly mileage you'd have no trouble getting round a half in six weeks, even with a couple of lighter weeks ahead.

@Dvorak I just checked and sure enough a full Marathon in my races-I have deleted it as no idea how that happened.
I think it was because no Half Marathon listed for Newport.

Thank you hopefully it is just a blip and I can get around the hlaf.

@Welshpoppy , I was in a similar spot in July/August last year when a bad virus got me, I was on sick leave for 2 weeks and I could initially just run/walk 30-40 minutes. It took me 2 months to get back to some form but I kept the long runs pretty short for a good while longer. I didn't dare to run a half until November or so, have to check my log again so that I'm not telling lies.

I went back to check and I found that I ran one half in training at the end of September but my HR was really high for the pace so I decided to wait another month before I would attempt another half. These long runs had a significant impact on me when I was still recovering from the virus. I didn't get back to regularly running over 13 miles on the weekends until January this year, half a year after being sick.

@tipsku I really want to thank you and sorry you had to go through it all.
I will play by ear and run shorter distances and hopefully come out of this with recovery from virus taking longer than we thought.

Got something to say?

Everything you need to know about training with a heart rate monitor. Remember the motto "I can maintain a fast pace over the race distance because I am an Endurance God". Mind the trap door....

A quote:

"The area between the top of the aerobic threshold and anaerobic threshold is somewhat of a no mans land of fitness. It is a mix of aerobic and anaerobic states. For the amount of effort the athlete puts forth, not a whole lot of fitness is produced. It does not train the aerobic or anaerobic energy system to a high degree. This area does have its place in training; it is just not in base season. Unfortunately this area is where I find a lot of athletes spending the majority of their seasons, which retards aerobic development. The athletes heart rate shoots up to this zone with little power or speed being produced when it gets there." Matt Russ, US International Coach
