I've been training for the NYC Marathon concurrently with my training for the IM 70.3 Austin which was held last Sunday. I as pleased with my finish time of 5:14 given the conditions and the course. It was faster than BSLT. I thought Austin was a more difficult course; more hills for sure plus half of the run is off-road.
My recovery from IM 70.3 Austin took a little longer than I anticipated. It probably didn't help that I had to teach a spin class Monday evening, the day after the race, and then I ended up following my own instructions during that class. I really needed an easy ride, not a bunch of simulated hill climbs! Oh, well.
My final 18 mile long run for the NYC Marathon was scheduled for this weekend. The Houston Half Marathon and Relay was also scheduled for this weekend. So I figured that seeing local friends and running most of my long run as a supported run would be fun. So I ran 2 miles before the race, raced, and then ran another 3 after the race. I was a bit slow today given the temperature (75 degrees) and last weekend's Half Ironman. All in all, a good final long run.
Train safe!
