December 1st - 144 Days to Marathon - Another rest day

Took a rest day yesterday - I think I'm overcooking it at the moment - my training has increased quite dramaticallly over the last month and although I'm varying the type of training I'm finding that I'm aching more and feeling worse rather than better. Neal has advised me to cut back a bit and try alternating every other day for a fortnight to give my legs more recovery time. I'm a little hesitant to scale any further back than this but am willing to try if it means that I'm avoiding injury.

I took another rest day today and will do a gentler run but with increased distance on Saturday, including the next primrose hill session. I'm looking forwards to see if my Stamina has improved as a consequence of the last hill session.
