Week 12 - Are we nearly there yet?

We’ve got to start week 12 with clarification on Daz’s Brighton plans. Newsflash… at the start of this week and guess what… he’s still undecided! His choice has been complicated by the fact that he is going to have to spend more money to get there. He definitely wants his medal and his all-important t-shirt, but how much is he willing to spend for these? And will he pay any attention to Lissi’s constant badgering about driving too far in one day before and after his first ever marathon? Safety first from Lissi… Man up and get on with it from Weeman.

Aside from the Brighton drama (apologies if you have had to sit through Daz debating his plans with you at any point this week!) this week has been more of the same routine we have been grinding out the kilometres.

First up is Lissi with her active recovery week following her longest ever run and ahead of her own 20 mile mission next week. A trio of 5ks as she battled a mixture of her feet reminding her of her first 40+ km week, and her body getting the post-Ofsted lurgy. Kill or cure was the motto this week!

Daz managed to work through the grind and still clocked an impressive 50.86km week but is was Weeman getting it done with another killer 62.91km week. You absolutely cannot question his commitment and determination! We’re certain his London time will be reflective of the insane amount of effort and dedication he has put into this challenge.

And that’s where we’re going to leave it for this week. We’ve almost caught back up to the schedule so next week we will might be back on time with potentially our longest combined distance yet as we all tackle the longest of long runs in our plans... can we break the 150km in a week barrier!?!
