Another Week Another Marathon for #movement-may
Me celebrating my 40th birthday
This is my training week, hoping to post every Friday with a breakdown of my training, including current race focus, goals and how the weekend went. So here is my break down of the weekend ending Thursday 31th of May.
This Weeks Training Focus
I am heading to Christchurch this Sunday for my 4th race in three months and this time I will be pacing my girlfriend to a hopeful BQ. I am still setting up my new schedule as I will be kicking my cycling training up a notch to hopefully finish this Winter with some good gains on my bike leg. Because I ran a half marathon on Sunday my training this week has been on recovering and making sure there were no niggling issues from my race and I go into this weekend marathon fresh and ready. Early mornings are still a struggle as it has been cold but I need to stop this in the coming weeks and its not going to get any warmer over the next few months.
The following is a breakdown from strava on my weekly progress:
Swim: 5.3km
Bike: 50km
Run: 34km
SubTotal: 89.3
May Total: 349.3km

How The Week Went
I performed a fitness test on the bike on Wednesday which although didn't leave me feeling tired, but my muscles are still a little sore. Training is still simple with my weeks training no looking to go over 10 hours for the next month or so.
Happy birth day dear @run.vince.run
Wahey! Happy Birthday Vince!
Did we go to Uni at the same time? I turned 40 a month(ish) ago.
Have you jumped into @runburgundy yet? I'd love to see you in there smashing everyone and getting peeps into shape. I'm going to do a Move Mob post tomorrow since it's still the 31st in the US.
Good luck on the weekend! Crush it!
Oh, also.... welcome to @teamaustralia buddy!
Thanks for that Adam, yeah I think we would have been in school or uni around the same time...Probably how we knew Chris Lobo. Thanks for letting me know about @runburgundy I will check it out and keep up the great posts, its cool hearing about your ninja success.
Regards @run.vince.run
Isn't it a problem to run two marathons with only one month between them? I heard that it is advised to run only two per year.
Hey @romaincrx yeah I agree, I don't think it is something that I would recommend to someone, especially if you are pushing yourself to run a personnel best each time. I wanted to do something that challenged me for my 40th birthday and this is what I came up with. I ran hard for the first marathon, but I am taking it a little easier for the rest to make sure there is limited impact on my body. It's also a bit of an experiment on my part to see what my body can adapt to.
I do appreciate your concern mate and will let you know how I go.
Regards @run.vince.run
That's a big challenge! I plan (not sure yet) to do my first marathon for my 25th birthday next year. I will see if I have the courage to train for it.
I will for sure read your posts about your experiment :)
Nothing can stop a consistent Runner.
