For which the pre-requisite is being crazy right :-)<br /><br />I&#39;m sure with your determination and focus, you&#39;ll surely crack this one, and crack it good Ram. Nice to see that you&#39;re gonna get the qualifying marathon asap, nothing like getting it outta the head!<br /><br />On training, there are numerous plans for Comrades out there chief. But if i was to make my own, i think what you already have in your 3 core principles is a great place to start. I&#39;m no expert but if i was you, i&#39;d do 4-5 runs a week, get to abt 80-90 kms (55-60 miles) on an average, which would mean that your weekly runs should go longer and the LSD much longer (gradually though). The other components during the week viz. Running workouts (Speed / Tempo / Hills), Cross training, Strength / Core sessions, would primarily remain the same. Once you start to be consistent at this (knowing you, that&#39;s a give-in :-)), i&#39;m sure you&#39;ll see improvements. Good luck in your training chief. Comrades, here they come!Navin Sadaranganihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00248326997770127885noreply@blogger.com
