Best Run of my life in Barcelona | 2.55 Marathon Project Ep.2

1.20: Intro finishes
In this episode of the 2.55 Project, I enjoy one of the best runs I've ever experienced! Running 13kms uphill out of Barcelona through the cityscape and hills made for an action-packed solo training run that I'll never forget!
in 5 weeks time I run the Noosa Marathon and I want to run faster than I have ever run before! 2.55 is very ambitious of course, but you've got to believe and I'm manifesting the result and working towards it!
In a 6 week series, I'm going to share everything I'm doing to ensure that I can at least go Sub 3 again, pushing the 2.55 barrier I have set myself.
I'm not sharing my process as a best practise or template to follow, I'm simply sharing it to open conversations about how to become a better athlete, whilst hopefully inspiring some folk to take on their next big run, whether that be 5k or 50k!

[@carsonau116]

what is your cycling FTP and W/kg?

[@felixoates]

Haven’t done an FTP for a long time but it’s typically been between 290 and 300 I believe! I might be 71/72kg but again haven’t checked for a while!
