Reading the forms over the winter it looked like there are a few of us prepping for marathons.
Just curious how the training is going.
I am entered in the Calgary marathon on May 29.
I think my distance is good with a barefoot half mary back in Nov, a 52 k ultra in Feb (water shoes) and half marathon on April 17(water shoes). Currently weekly mileage is ~30 to 45k, about half of that barefoot.
My big worry is foot conditioning. Longest barefoot run has been 13 k, no blisters and a bit of abrasion. I will be using tape on my second toes as they take too much abuse. Over the next three weeks I hope to take my long barefoot runs up to +20 k then have a one week tapper.
I am trying not to sych myself out .
