A few people have asked to see the training plan that I am using for multiple marathons in two weeks. I basically used Pfitzinger’s 4 week plan and cut out the middle two weeks. The heavy base mileage I put in for Boston hopefully will carry over and I won’t loose to much conditioning.
Multiple Marathons 2 weeks:
Monday 1st Marathon Monday OFF
Tuesday OFF Tuesday 6 mi Recovery
Wednesday 5 mi Recovery Wednesday 7 mi w/ 2 mi @ pace
Thursday OFF Thursday 6 mi Recovery
Friday 6 mi Recovery Friday 5 mi Recovery
Saturday 6 mi Recovery Saturday 4 mi Recovery
Sunday 8 mi General Aerobic Sunday 2nd Marathon
I feel pretty solid. My calves are still tight especially during the run today which I managed to run at a 6:15 pace. I still am not sure what pace I am going to do at New Jersey. It is a flat double loop and the long range forecast is calling for 60s and overcast skies. I think I test myself and adjust accordingly to how I feel. I am most concerned of bonking (running out of energy) early in the race or pulling a muscle. I keep up the high carb diet this week and drink plenty of water to replace what I lost.
To infinity and beyond.
