I've done bugga all marathon training for Sydney, which i was ( AM? ) still really keen on! Maybe its just post Cities PB blues? Or maybe as i have been really busy with kids, work, other stuff. Probably a bit of both.
The week past:
Monday: stair reps - 5 X 16 flights
Tuesday - boxercise(jazzaxise...whatever... - focus on stomach muscles - ouch.
Wednesday - more stairs - same as before
Thursday - 4.5km run home from blacktown station
Friday - guess what...more stairs. same as monday.
Saturday - 12km run, with 3 rep of 8 min at about 4:30 pace - thats smokin for me! Followed by 19km run with rach, with a stop at my parents for 15 mins at 12km for a drink and chicken wing.
Sunday - 30km bike ride with Rach.
So, not a typical marathon training week, but plenty of stuff to keep me going. R's HIM is fast approaching, and the training is getting tough. But she has a few training partners now - time to lean on them for company and motivation i think. We cant wait to go away to cheer her on!!!
Also, managed to buy 2 good bikes off ebay for the girsl - both lightweight ladies MTB - simple shimano gears, good brakes, great value. There were about $80 each, and the girls love them! :-)
The sydney tower run up is on Friday - thank god! I will probably continue one stair session a week in training, but the three sessions play havoc with my mara training and flex time!
And remember....Troopy still rocks.

You know what? I reckon all that stair work is in the same league as Ultras. Weird. Loony. Definitely cracked! ;-) :-)
Enjoy your social climbing experience :-)
