Where the #$%^ is Excel when you need it.

AH CRAP!!!!

Told myself that if I got through Nepean OK I would start to plan the next part of this thing – which for me is essentially getting strong enough (fit enough) to be able to undertake a peaking period from mid January (without falling apart).  TICK

But the parameters don’t work.

P1 – Can’t seriously expect to run a marathon on less than 55km and 4 runs per week (And at least one extremely successful running doctor I know reckons this is more like 70km per week “bare minimum – just to undertake it safely”)

P2 – Need to swim at least 3 times a week, but particularly if you are starting from where i am.

P3 – Need at least 3 bike sessions (3 is really not enough is it), including at least 1 x 120km+

P4 – Everyone seems to recommend strength and flexibility gym sessions x 2 per week

P5 – Want to see the family before I go to work in the mornings.

P6 – Don’t want to come home - say hello to the family - and then leave the house for training any more than 1 or 2 times a week.

IT DOESN’T FIT. I need more days in the week. It just doesn’t fit and is going to require some creativity.

I will get back to if I find a way to solve for X, where x < a small number AND sum(P1:P6) > a small number.

Is anyone else having this problem??? Where the #$%^ is Excel when you need it.
