Last weekends Marathon and my legs. Without a doubt I can walk high weekly mileage. I can train hard and walk long distances both without injury. The question is do my legs fully recover? I think late February’s Cowtown 50K race left my legs tired. More tired than I thought. I resumed my hard training for three weeks. Then raced the A2A Marathon. My legs were not responsive. I have been under the impression that if I kept piling on the miles my legs would adapt. I still believe that. However I also need some recovery time. My plan was to pile on more miles before the Australian Centurion. This week I focused instead on recovery. I will do the same between now and my Centurion race. I have the fitness now for a hundred mile race. This last week and next week would not have added much more to my fitness. Just looking to maintain now, then Taper. Achieve my Goal. Race Australia with happy RESTED legs.
