Marathon training, week 6
This week I ran 4 times
The highlight was the ARUK training day, which I attended virtually. Lots of great fundraising ideas and I finally put my distribution list together, emailed and posted on social media (twitter, facebook, linkedin).
Key take aways:
- 3 runs of 3 mins running / 2 mins walking (up to 45 minutes)
- long run of 14km (9 miles), which was 1 min running / 1 min walking
- Managed 1 gym visit
- 2 rest days

Key take aways:
- really exciting research being done into Alzheimers
- Running is "standing on one leg at speed" (ie work on my balance)
- Run gently enough
- at end of long run "I could have kept going"
- it's enough to do 3 runs, and 1-2 strength sessions
- alcohol is not a performance enhancing drug
- get enough sleep and rest
