Week 2 Marathon Training - Completed!

This week, despite the heat and going on holiday I have managed to stick to my training plan and completed each run accordingly!

My Week 2 stats look like this:

Running: 30.16 miles in 4 runs
(4.5 miles in 1 trail run and 25.66 miles in 3 road runs).45 minutes Sports Massage 
Walking: 3.33 miles (barefoot on the beach!)
Total Weekly Training Miles: 33.49 Miles

My total training for the marathon to date since 7th July 2014 is:

Running : 56.93 miles (16.14 m trail and 40.79m road).
Swimming: 2.20 miles (0.94m open water and 1.26m pool).
Walking: 10.89 miles

Sports Massage: 45 minutes
Total Training Miles: 70.02 miles

 

 After a hard day sunbathing by the pool at around 3:45pm we decided to go for a stroll along the beach. 

The biggest decision we had to make was whether to go left or right out of the hotel! We opted to go left and walked for 35 mins, once we reached a curve on the otherwise straight coast line we turned around and headed back!  We managed 1 hour 10 mins of fairly tricky walking on extremely soft sand dodging big waves breaking around us! This made it difficult to stay upright due to the strength of the tide but we covered approximately 3:33 miles on this difficult terrain.
