Countdown to the Solway Marathon

Almighty Bob

I’m slowly making progress with the running. The most pleasant surprise of all was the realisation that my latent stamina from all the ultra running is still there. So long as I am not in pain, I can still walk massive distances without batting an eye. The thing that still eludes me is strength.

So far I have been adopting a run-walk-run training strategy, with the goal of gradually increasing the running time. I have also just entered the Solway marathon on June 4th. It’s a nice, easy route with a generous 6 hour cutoff, so even if my walk-run becomes more of a walk-walk, I should still finish easily.

Will anybody else from here be there?

Bob

      Almighty Bob. It sounds like you have a good plan for your marathon. I agree completely with you on your ultra running assessment. I am enjoying the longer distances as well. Good luck in the Solway Marathon!
