Melbourne Marathon 2017 with Chelsea and Sharon

A long post this week, training recap for the last two weeks, some thoughts on Melbourne Marathon and the mental side of dealing with injury, and a change of plans with my coach.

As usual with training there are ups and downs, these two weeks combined both.

I am training to run my second marathon targeting Melbourne Marathon 2017. After a slightly disappointing first marathon I'm hoping to go better this time! Training begins 6th of February 2017 and will be a 36 week program to Melbourne Marathon! I'll be documenting my training and adventures along the way. Want to know more? Read my training background.

March 2018 Update:
Melbourne Marathon 2017 - 3:46:53 ✓
~~New goal underway - Gold Coast Half Marathon 2018 / XCR'18~~ ah perhaps not... injured.

November 2022 Update:
