Marathon training (again)
Sunday marks another round of serious marathon training; last time, I decided to ease off training after I was regularly running 10 to 12 miles. I had finally hit the runner’s high that so many articles and podcasts urged me to wait for, but I just didn’t have the mental wherewithal to run for hours at a time.
This year, I’m planning on using:
- the Hal Higdon Novice 1 program
- an embarrassing number of audible.com audio books. When I was last running seriously, I listened to quite a bit of fiction. I’ve missed studying memoir, though, and I can’t wait to read Julian Barnes Nothing to Be Frightened Of, a book I shouldn’t have missed.
- another new pair of Mizunos, my fifth
- new running podcasts, since so many of my old favorites have fizzled away.
