Sunday Run
Training for the 100km is really starting to ramp-up now. A key part of my training programme is to spread my weekly “long run” out over two days. This allows me to cover a very long distance, but makes it much easier for me to recover and therefore not have an extended recovery time.
Two long runs over the weekend (or “backing-up”) means a run of 3 -> 4 hours on Saturday and 3.5 hours on Sunday. This allows me to cover approx. 75km over the weekend, much farther than I would typically run on a single long run. I have been mixing it up on my runs, taking the Saturday run in the hills and the Sunday run on the flat.
