Week 12 | 2.4 - 8.4

Mon - Rest
Legs needed rest and I wanted to be careful with the knees.

Tue - cca 4k ; 
Don't have any further readings as my Garmin was unable to pick up satellites.
Tried to do a bit of speed work but my pollen season asthma kicked in so I had real trouble breathing.
I was a bit concerned as to get reduced breathing during marathon won't help, at all.
Normally this is a problem for few weeks when the pollen levels are at highest, unfortunately it just falls into the week before race.

Wed - 4.78k ; 30:36 ; 6:24min/k
Unbelievable how much speed I lost during the past 10 weeks. I can't completely blame my asthma, it is just that the top end of cardio performance is not there anymore. Need to work on that after the race.
Not to mention that any speed work puts more stress on my knees, they get really sore afterwards.

Thu - Rest
Knees needed it.

Fri - Rest

Sat - Rest

Sun - 6.22k ; 40:16 ; 6:29min/k
Wanted to do easy run before the week of the race. Weather had turned really cold, it was snowing!
Can't believe that two weeks ago I got overheated and sunburned.
Still a nice run, only not the best idea to go running after a big Easter Sunday lunch, stomach wasn't really happy.

Total running distance: 15 km

Easy week with a lot of rest during Easter weekend, and man did I need that!
I could even feel that the knees got better, with the increased amount of sleep.
Speed is definitely not on my agenda at the moment, I am hoping to keep a bit of pep in the legs next week with one or two easy runs before the big day. Will see.

have a good week
