Happy New Year. It's 15 weeks until the London Marathon April 17th!
I have had another ruined week with zero running - a chest infection and sore throat have put pay to any ideas of exercise. My cough has now lasted 30 days on and off so a full week off sport is needed. I have used the time to plan for the marathon with a 3 run a week programme ranging from an initial 20 miles a week to a peak of 34 miles a week in late March before a two week pre marathon taper. Let's hope the illness's will be a thing of the past! This is why I started the longer runs in November/December so the training plan allowed for the odd illness/injury.
