Will add in a swim and a couple of weight classes too. Can't say I'm

Don't try to do too much. If you're training for a marathon, that's your
focus. If you like swimming cool, but don't let that take energy away from
your running. I wouldn't even do Tues if I were you, not just yet anyway.
I'd get a couple more months running in. If it tires you out too much,
especially since you're running the next day, than just do a mid tempo run
instead. But, hey, if it feels good and works out great, go for it.

I'm following a Runners World programme so I'm going to try to stick to it
as much as I can. Tried and Tested as they say! They say that the long run
is the most important followed by the speed session so I'll do those. I
hope I'm not going to get too tired quite this early in the programme or
I'll never make it!
