Just another week to the Rotorua Marathon, and already I am anxious about how I will fare on a course that could be even more tougher than my first Auckland outing. I will be realistic and say that I won't better my previous best of 4 hours 17 minutes. Considering the potential toughness of the course I'll add a bit of extra buffer time. I won't be surprised if I exceed 4 hours 30 minutes. But who knows, I could do better than last time.
I have a bit of pain in both feet, in different places. The left foot is a bit tender on my outstep, mostly as a consequence of continually rolling the ankle too many times in training. The right foot is a bit uncomfortable just above the front of my ankle at the top of the foot. This happened after training yesterday when I ramped the treadmill up to around 13 km/h, which was probably very foolish to do so close to a marathon. Hopefully I'll get over the little pains and save myself for the event.
This last week will be dedicated to fuelling and tapering, so hopefully I'll get the procedure right.
