Week 2 Training Summary: London Marathon 2024
Posted: 14 Jan 2024 22:20
Maintaining the consistency of week 1, my London Marathon 2024 training plan is going to, well plan! Despite picking up a niggle in my calf I managed to complete every programmed run. Here’s my week 2 training summary.
Monday 8th January 2024
Monday night means it’s Gosforth Harriers club run. Managed to keep up with the quicker group for about 2 miles. Then nearly died on Matthew Bank 😆. Note to self; do more hill work!
Still pleased with this average pace after doing 8 miles yesterday. Just need to keep the consistency going.

Took some effort to get out the door tonight. Must be my age as I’m not half feeling the cold 🥶😂. Left calf been a bit tight all day so an easy 3 miles was very welcome to keep the miles ticking over.
Wednesday 10th January 2024
Was meant to be at club tonight but calf still a bit stiff and tender. So no way I could have handled and intervals session. Went out and did a very slow and easy 5 miles. Calf felt fine and actually feels a bit looser now.

Not going to lie that I needed a little nana nap tonight when I got in from work. Really couldn’t be arsed to go out after it. But need to keep the consistency going. 1 mile warm up, 2 miles @ 9 min/mile (was actually a little quicker), then 1 mile cool down. Rest day tomorrow is going to be very welcome.

Rest day! Jack got such a good report from his parent’s day at school so we went out for pizza at our wonderful local bistro, Plaza Cafe & Bistro.
Saturday 13th January 2024
Was going to go to Park Run. Woke up, had a pee and went back to bed. Far too tired. Took me all day to get up the motivation to do an easy 3 (well 3.5). Must have an early night as it’s a 10 miler tomorrow.
Sunday 14th January 2024
Only 98 days (14 weeks) to go until London Marathon. So every training session counts. Today was a 10 mile slow run, building up time on feet. Have also started using Science in Sport gels on my long runs to start getting myself used to them.
