Totally agreed with you. To increase mileage and intensity during a marathon prep block are very tough on your body. I often wonder how to handle this aspect during my marathon prep. You are rhe 1st person i know who spoke abt this. I also see during your kids 5k training block, you did not drastically reduce the mileage but rather use the long run as recovery sessions. I've learnt a lot from you. Well done.
Thank you! Patience pays off in the long run, and keeping mileage consistent during marathon builds keeps us healthy! Glad you are finding connections with your own running!!!
Thank you for sharing! This is different from what I’ve always seen in training plans but what you said makes a lot of sense!! Now I think about it, We were always told not to increase both intensity and mileage at the same time but reaching peak weeks had me do both 😂
