I have officially signed up for the BMO marathon in Vancouver on May 5, 2019. A mere 166 days away.
I am going to give the Hanson's Marathon Method a try for this race. I will be modifying the beginner plan in that I will be using the day I teach 4 classes to substitute for an easy run. The days will be shifted so the SOS workouts will be Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Tuesday will be my day off from everything and the day you will need to hook me up to a coffee IV.
My goal is to qualify for Boston. I 99% don't think it will happen at this race, but you never know. The qualification times have now dropped another 5 minutes. In 2020 I would need to be faster than 3:50. So yay for being in the 45-49 age group at that point. The main time goal is to beat the 4:33 PB I set in 2007. I will be training using the 4:00 marathon paces.
Anyway, the point is that I will be blogging my training for the marathon here and hopefully with more success than the half marathon. I promise to put it in my daytimer.
In other news, I am one class away from finishing my Personal Fitnes trainer diploma. Actually, I have 70% of the course finished, and just 2 15% video assignments left and this course is done.
