I have just finished the second phase of my marathon training and am now in a recovery mode.
After consultation with my coach, the third and final cycle has been modified, so that I can take on an increased workload in the weeks before the marathon. This is because I have managed to endure the two consecutive 100% weeks I had before. Despite the increased mileage, I still managed to recover properly and put in some good running efforts during this time.
This does mean less time pushing weights in the gym, which I have been neglecting lately (I can feel myself getting weaker), and more late nights/early mornings doing those long runs. Still I feel I need to keep going to the gym, at least once a week, to do some strengthening exercises for the legs.
