Getting very close now, less than a week to leaving for Siberia, I so wish it was this weekend, tapering is the hardest part of training, all the hard work has been done, you are physically and mentally ready and then you have 2 weeks of very light training, waiting for the event.
I know it's important to taper so that we arrive fresh but it's still frustrating, you keep thinking have I got everything correct, right kit, will I be warm enough, will I like the food there etc, everything becomes a bigger problem than it really is.
This week so far has been an hour of cross training on Monday, 3 miles Tuesday, 5 miles this morning, tomorrow an hour of Kettlebell training, rest on Friday and Saturday, then 8 miles on Sunday.
An easy week!!!!!!!
I have agreed to take part in 2 Zumba classes at The Fitness Company on Friday this week, as have agreed that the ladies and chose my costume for the event, not sure if that was the right thing to do, pictures will be the online soon.
Philip is still doing really well, and is focused on the job ahead..
Trevor
Sunday, March 4th, 2012, Philip and Trevor will be running across the frozen ice surface of the world’s largest, oldest and deepest lake, Lake Baikal in Siberia. It's generally considered one of the 10 toughest marathons in the world. Philip and Trevor are running in support of Iain Rennie Hospice at Home, a charity offering specialist and supportive care and advice for patients with cancer and other life threatening illnesses in their homes.
