Marathon week 9-12
I’ve finished my next four weeks of training for running a marathon. I’ve been traveling and had a general lack of motivation to sum it up, so I lag behind. That also means I lag behind in keeping myself accountable.
Schedule adherence
I had some travel and illness that put a dent in my schedule. But my motivations is still there, which is more important.

The total distance I’m expected to have run each week.

The longest single distance each week I’m expected to run.
In summary, I’m adhering to the plan, but I’m worried that the last weeks (which are not included in the graphs) have not been very good.
Estimate adjustments
In Chances of success I made some estimates on my odds of actually completing the marathon. This provides and updates to these values.
- General dropout before actually registering (0%)
- Me and my friend are now registered, so one unknown hindrance passed.
- Fitness compared to failed runs in prevalence (+0%)
- Until I meet someone how has done this course (or similar) this will remain as-is.
- General life circumstances (-20%)
- I’m still feeling the same conflicts with general life as in last update.
- Injuries (0%)
- No new injuries or bad feelings.
All in all, I’m at 50% odds.
