There are no hopeless situations,
only people who think hopelessly”

With only 10 months to go before the Comrades Marathon in 2011, it doesn’t leave much time to recover from 3 months of inactivity.
It gives me 12 weeks to get back up to Marathon distance, and use the Melbourne Marathon as my Comrades Qualifier.
Considering it takes at least 4 weeks just to get back into the rhythm of training before doing anything substantial, it’s quite a tough ask!
I’m changing my Comrades Training program to do less mileage and give myself more rest and recovery time. As my fitness (and weight) start to improve, I can ramp up the mileage and increase the training load.
Not a big month, but thankful just to get some miles under the belt and give myself a shot at the Melbourne Marathon!
