Your log is great Marco - love reading about the thought process and see everything that goes into the progress you are making. I was wondering what the reason for dropping (or becoming more flexible) with your rest/non-running day was. I noticed leading up to the 100k and the weeks after you had quite a few weeks running every day. Wishing you a speedy recovery with your current niggles and a great build up to Chicago! It's a fantastic race!

Nice job Marco. Your progress is inspiring. Sub3 is a very far target for me 3.06.50 my best time.

How do you manage hydration in the marathon races? Do you align it with gels? how often and how much do you drink. I find it hard to gauge whether I am hydrating properly.

Thanks for keeping this detailed log updated. Interesting to note the focus on threshold trainings and probably the philosophy of 2 sessions a week, and being very flexible about it, based on physiological adaptation. Aussies are hardcore about their Tues, Thursday and Saturday hard days with a long run Sunday, and would be a good study to see if any change in the pattern would yield better results in terms of adaptation and fitness
