The official marathon training has began!
Tonight I completed my first hill rep session (of many). These sessions are hard, but in the long term very rewarding as they build strength and endurance. They also strengthen the mind- I will run the last hill as hard as the 1st. Each rep (up and down the hill) lasted 3 minutes, 1 min 20 to run up the hill, 1 min 40 to jog down. I covered 4 miles in total plus the jog to and from the hill.
On Thursday I intend to do my first speed session where I'll run some of the session at the pace I intend to complete the marathon.
