Sub-3 Marathon Thread

I’m signed up for Malaga the week before Christmas. Was keeping it a bit more low key than London, although strava is going to make it fairly clear I’m mara training over the next few weeks.

That said, I’ve said to my coach I don’t want to go “all in” on the running again. London was too many eggs in one basket and compromised the rest of my tri season. I want to keep my cycling up, especially with 2xIM next year planned. I also showed in Nice that I can still run really well off a multisport training programme. A 1:25 in that 70.3, followed up with the 1:22 lumpy HM at Blenheim 3wks later says I’m in decent shape fitness wise, I just need to bolt on a few longer tempo runs and extend the weekend long run. But I’m not going to run every day. I’m keeping some of the normal “filler” runs as turbo sessions.
