So some weeks ago I decided that this year I will run a marathon. You’d think running would be easy, right? Just run every week and run a bit further every week.

Wrong. There are like 600 different ways to run and train. Fast paced, slow paced, inclined, interval, you name it and it exists probably.

I’m still in the process of finding out how I want to train. Do I take it slow and build things slow and steady? Do I want to spice thing up every now and then? I don’t know yet.

I currently go for 5-7 km at a time. I think it’s okayish for now. I hope to reach 10km somewhere in March. This week I decided to go 3km but at a fast pace. I did like 4:20 (!!!) To 4:50 minutes a km and at the last 750 meters I was even going at 2:30 per km somehow.

It’s a long way to go still. It’s much different than the explosivness of strength training and I have to find new ways for myself to train. But I keep going.
