I was amazed after recalling the week's training. I had forgotten that I ran on Tuesday and so this week's mileage adds up to 74K - more than I intended to do.

The main progress is that I finally managed to do the absolutely essential long run of 30K. Most schedules in sports literature recommend to do 4 to 6 long runs to get fit for a marathon. And the last long run should be done 3 weeks prior to the race, or 2 weeks latest. So do not take my training as your guideline to success. It is just an experiment enforced by my knee problems. I hope to do another long run next Wednesday.
