A year gone by and a fresh attempt at the Marathon
Over the past year I’ve been very sporadic in my training, some months doing as little as 6 miles of running. I’m not close to the way I felt when I did my the Great Scottish Run in under 1:48. It’s been getting me down, not to mention increasing my girth. Manged to get back up to 13st 4lb, from my 12st 2lb slimmest.
Well, that’s all about to change again, Marathon training starts this week. 16 weeks to go and I’ve been preparing myself nicely over the last few weeks. I’m now running 10km in 56 mins, not fast I know, but it’s a good start since I had managed to drop to just over an hour. It’s fairly easy to see why, if you only run once every 4 weeks or so, you aren’t going to keep the pace.
Aim is to not miss any sessions, training program has tempo/speedwork on Tuesdays, long runs on Fridays and recovery runs on Sundays.
More to follow, including a link to my program, if I can get the link to work properly. In the meantime, I’ve just realised my road tax is due today, so better sort that out before midnight.
