Hyderabad Marathon - Weekly Buildup
Week 1 Ten weeks out. The plan is simple: No heroics, just consistent work toward a Comrades qualifier, which seems doable. The week opened with a strength workout that left my legs sore through Tuesday and Wednesday which was expected, as I had deliberately eased off strength training in the lead-up to Cape Town, so the body needed a nudge back. Thursday, brought the first interval session in months, 400m repeats, target 6:50–7:15/mi. I was a touch nervous, and wasn't quite there, but in the vicinity. Trusting pace will come back over the coming weeks. The week closed with a 14-miler on Saturday nice and easy, mostly solo, with Santanu joining for the last 4 miles.
