For the next month my focus is all about those weekly long runs. For now the hill runs and to some extent the tempo runs will have to take a back seat. My whole focus is on just keeping fresh so that I can do those long runs, and eventually taper for the Half marathon.
Which does mean that my weekday runs will appear shorter, and not so strenuous, but I know from last year that getting ready for the long runs is the biggest issue. I need my body ready to handle the 2+ hours on the trail. Once I achieve that, I know that when the race actually arrives I will run a faster pace just from being out there with other runners.
I have almost completely lost the focus on Skinny Rules recently. I feel guilty about that. And know that I just need to stress more discipline. But recent weeks have been pretty stressful, and the schedules and routines have been disruptive. All I can do for now is try to stick as much as possible to my goals and rules, and when things settle down it will be easier to do the rest.
