Run Update 30.07.2016

(Saw today that this post was lying in my drafts folder from Sunday. Posting it belatedly)

Theres no stop button. You've got to keep on running! 

I've got another six weeks to go until my next half marathon (Chennai Trail Marathon) and though I just ran 21.1K last week, there's no time to stop and indulge in some lazy, sleep-till-12-in-the afternoon-weekends. This week I ran two easy recovery runs. A short, relaxed 3K on Thursday and a longer relaxed 8K yesterday. Both days the weather was muggy and the run felt tough.


I do want to put in a bit more effort into my training for this one and I'm hoping to increase my running volume from 1 run a week to 3-4 runs a week. I'm going to be continuing my strength sessions on the other days and make sure I finish strong.



CTM being an off-road run, the terrain will be tough and the weather will probably still be muggy so I am not expecting to do a PB. However, I am hoping to finish under 3 hours. I missed this run last year due to an injury (you can read about that here) and I'm really, really looking forward to it this year.
