I'm so impressed by this insanity. I ran into a classmate at the gym yesterday who is also doing IMTX and both you and chw57 are way more on top of training than he is - it made me feel mildly concerned for him.

Oh shoot Maybe he was sandbagging? I write this out and it seems like a ton, and I am exhausted, but I certainly don't feel prepared. I know that I am based on the plan, but when I finish a 6 hour ride, I don't feel marathon ready!

I think he'll end up being fine, he's a pretty good athlete in general. He's still on rotations so I think he hasn't had as much time as he thought he would at this point.

What are you training for? Date?
Wolf Run Obstacle course 26 April and Chester Half Marathon 18 May

Schedule for the week?
Monday - 10mile ride
Tuesday - 3 mile run + 9 mile ride
Wednesday - x mile ride - depends on how I feel
Thursday - 4 mile run
Friday - 3 mile run
Saturday - x mile run - ride to a nice pub I think!
Sunday - 6 mile run

Any issues or vents?
First week back - am rusty with running technique and my legs hurt. But it won't be like this for too long, I hope!

AW's or highlights from the last week?
My AW is that I'm back running - that's a comeback after 2 months forced rest. I've reduced by pace from 8:54 to 8:45 per mile already. Very happy about that. My comfortable pace should be 8:30. I'll get it.
Also, I'm LOVING my bike. It's a hybrid and it's only purpose is to cycle around the country lanes of Cheshire. Seriously in love with it. We've had brilliant weather this week though.
