Knowing its a short 2 week period I went off pretty hard yesterday doing 24 miles at an average of just under 16Mph, this morning however my legs were DEAD, managed 16 miles but my average was just 14Mph and now I feel like a zombie, ahh well, tis all good fun I have done more miles in a day and a half than I used to all week when I first started.

Couldnt get into the grove yesterday and gave up after 7 miles, Today is a rest day as I have done 9 days without one, Tomorrow however I am preying for big numbers again

instead of doing a marathon everyday without planned rest days, why not do the same average miles but with a rest day thrown in? i.e., more miles over 3 days but with the 4th day as a planned rest day. that way you will still achieve your challenge and not run the risk of over training and end up ill (long term).

Yeah my plan is to do it 6 days a week and rest on Sundays,its just not quite worked out like that LOL

EDIT, This rest day is driving me crazy too, keep looking at my Ribble lol

if you did 32 miles a day over 3 then have a rest day you would still hit your target and it won't feel like punishment. i have to do 41 miles a day over 5 days because i have to. but it took me a year to build up to it. i tried your way at the beginning and it trashed me, i.e., i was run down and always getting colds and mouth ulcers. so i followed someone else's advice regarding rest days and now i'm ok with long distance commuting. mind you my mileage is split into two lots of 20.5 miles and i have fantastic changing / showering facilities

 

[gb155]

Well I cycled 23 miles this morning, so I will deffo hit the 26.2 mile target by this evening WHOOT.

Well ended on over 30 miles yesterday, legs were tired today so did just 17.2 miles, should give me 26.2 miles by tonight so if all goes well I will have covered 2 Marathons in 2 days and done 75 miles for the week . I LOVE CYCLING
