No matter what you may think, I’m feeling fresher and
fresher. Why is that? May it’s because I’m improving as a runner? I certainly believe
so. I’m becoming stronger. I’ve become more conservative in letting my
technique doing the talking – focussing on a solid lean and positioning as
opposed to creating forces with my legs/ feet/ body.
But, I’ve been running well. Times haven’t been as fast as
other days but, as the days have gone on I’m understanding more about what I
want to take out of the runs. I ran my first Marathon in 3:40. Looking at the
adventure, I believe my aim is not to be running much faster (I mean I won’t be
going too much faster without daily sprint finishes) but, improving my ability
to finish a race and feel as if I could run another marathon right away.
I feel like I’m there. The last few days I’ve found myself
springing around and feeling filled with energy, even at the finish line (my
House or, at work!)
My Times have been:
Day 16 – 3:37
Day 17 – 3:42
Day 18- 3:50
Day 19- 3:45
My goal/s for the next week well, up until December 2nd
(50th day) is to improve my efficiency. Over the next few days, I
plan on going slower. Not too much slower! But slowing down to improve my
ability to finish feeling like I haven’t run at all. And only once my
efficiency is up, start to increase my speed again with whatever technique
changes that I take on board!
