Being a marathon runner who regularly runs 90 - 100 miles a week, works full-time, has a wife and two kids at home, and coaches a number of other runners on both an individual and group basis, one of the things I’m often asked is how I manage to find the time to fit everything in. I recently did an interview on this subject for “Men’s Running” magazine and that got me thinking about writing this blog for the North East Runner website.
It’s the end of June and I’m now into the third week of my preparation for October’s BMW Frankfurt Marathon. Being honest there’s nothing exciting to report from my training to date, just a lot of steady miles and a couple of quicker tempo runs each week. I do however feel as though I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in at the start of a marathon training plan which can only be a good thing as my training starts to gain momentum. |
