for a spring marathon

I started training for spring races. Last season, ran very hard until May, my last one was 17th Sendai Half Marathon, ran with Noguchi Muzuki who is the fastest woman in the world(?). My season was started from Tokyo Women, Chiba Marine Half, Shinjuku City Half, Arakawa, Boston and Sendai.
Boston's result was better than this year's Tokyo Women's even I was in a rest room for a few of minutes in sidewalk around 38km point mark. ;-) It's funny...

I was worrying about my motivation after Tokyo Women because of my bad luck and bad result even I trained well and took care enough for it. Since I recovered well in Kyusyu by natural spa, I could start to think about spring races, though...

On January 20, go to Makuhari, for the Chiba Marine half marathon.

On February 3, run with Namban People in Kanagawa Marathon. (a half marathon)

On April 20, I have decided to run in Nagano Marathon. !Woo Hoo!

However, I worry about registration because it's the most popular marathon in Japan according to RUNNET. Did you know that? it's more popular than Tokyo Marathon... So, I have no time to waste what I do to the next. Just run to make a PB hopefully.


Ran hard last night in the track with Namban People. Since it was a long time no run for intervals, so I couldn't run well as much I wanted. According to my watch I made some good splits almost evenly 4minutes pace per 1km even though these weren't even. Here is the link to my Running Log.

You did the right thing to rest for one interval and to cut back by one interval. Should re-introduce this kind of training gradually. The other splits were good. Well done!

Just keep training consistently and you will enjoy your winter and spring races. Good luck to enter Nagano.

Thanks to Steve for the comment, I ran hard as much as I could, maybe not enough for my aim still. But please keep watch me, I try to improve more and more for running.

Y gracias David por tu comento, si es muy bueno ver que mucha gente corre en todo el mundo, no? Que te diviertas correr mucho!
