Belfast Marathon Prep: Week 15 ✅

25.75km yesterday being the big one for this week. Went on a cross country tour around Ardee and the surrounding towns, counties and predominantly large hills 🗻

A very tough slog in poor conditions but felt I grew into it despite a few obstacles. It being midterm and with plans for the weekend I went out on Friday morning minus the rest of a few days after my run on Wednesday and I could feel it in the legs 🤕

Ultimately another building block laid down so I’m happy in hindsight 😅 With a deload week next week and some serious recovery on the horizon 🧘🏻‍♂️

Prior to yesterday’s ordeal, I got a sharp-ish 5k progression run in after the usual easy recovery run on Monday gone by.

Overall, we’re in a good place, taking learnings especially from each long run and moving closer and closer to the Dublin City Half at the end of March and the big one in Belfast come the May bank holiday 🏁
