The 2:49 Marathon Project Week 9 Training For The 2:49 Marathon Project Week 9 Training sessions I am giving myself another cutback week. So far, I've been hitting some fairly decent volume weeks, but I know in the weeks coming, this will be ramping up. It's time to give my body some recovery in…
The 2:49 Marathon Project Week 7 UpdateFor the 2:49 Marathon Project Week 7 Update, everything is going pretty damn good so far. That's not to say all is perfect, but I really can't complain about anything. The metrics look good, I feel good, and my running is going in the right direction. Week 7…
The 2:49 Marathon Project Week 8 Training For The 2:49 Marathon Project Week 8 Training sessions I am building off what I learned in week 6. In week 6, I struggled to hit my Sunday long run split session and the almost marathon pace miles thrown in. On that run, I was under the…
