So, apparently, when I signed up for the Venice Marathon I signed up also to receive weekly training workouts from the official trainer of the marathon. This makes me really happy for many reasons, one that I am entitled to a perk that I wasn't aware of and more importantly second, that I have someone else telling me what I need to do making it so much easier to stick with the training. I'm already at the end of the 2nd week.
That all said, the Italians are trying to kill me. I ran at least 30km already this week and have another 12 today and probably that many on Sunday. Each week I get the workout for the following week and they aren't easy but they make me feel good. I will try and upload the links to the workouts each week so that you can see how I am suffering :)
4 runs a week, with a day of swimming thrown in there and lots of time on my feet.
Now all I have to do is book a flight and hotel in Italy and I'll be all set!
