- Now is the end of the first phase of your build up, get ready for more miles.

- Miles or time? Up to week 4 or 5 into a marathon plan there’s no need to focus on miles in long runs.  It’s okay to work to time on feet. Building up how long your run for. From now on start to work in miles.  

- Build a pain profile - 

- Using a rating scale where ‘0’ = no pain or symptoms, no stiffness, ache or soreness and where a ‘10’ = intense pain, provide ratings for how you felt during your run, after your run and 24hrs after your run.  

- Identify how much pain there is and where the pain is coming from.  Doing this repeatedly over a number of days allows you to create a pain profile and monitor how you feel during training.
