Training Update

Another week down already! 4 weeks this Sunday to the marathon can't believe how quick it has come around!

This week has been quite a good week for training despite having a slight back ache, although strangely running doesn't aggravate it further, thankfully!

After a day off to recover from Silverstone last weekend I got back on it on Tuesday & trained on Tue, Thu & Friday completing a mixture of running, interval cardio training, some more speed work & strength training so good progress during the week.

Yesterday completed my longest training run so far & managed 22miles in 3:15 on my weekly long run. Felt good all the way & could have probably done another 4.2 miles if I had too!! Feel a bit sore today though but hopefully back to training tomorrow with a recovery run......

Thanks to Em who came with me yesterday on the bike for support but I think the 22miles are having an affect on her today!!!!

more progress!

Been an interesting week! Last week was a little slow as the 18mile run last sunday must have taken it out of me as I felt mega tired all of the week!! Went to the gym a couple of times & managed a 10km run midweek so not all bad but still needed to back off to recover a little.

Yesterday was the Adidas Silverstone Half Marathon & it was a good day, 10,000 people + & I ran a 1:39 not too bad considering the wind & how tired I have felt lately, some parts of the race the wind was really slowing people down though, but still a really good experience! Next competitive half I will be looking for 1:35 conditions permitting........

Feeling a little stiff this morning so this week will be a little bit recovery & rest, some running & hopefully all being well I will be looking at a 18-20 mile LSR on Sunday.

6 Weeks to go to London, its really not long now!

Training!!!!!!

Well lots of training since last update! No real problems with the IT band or knees in general, I do seem to be in a injury free period so I had better make the most of it & get some training done!!!!! Still have lots of general aches & pains though...............

Last wkend went to Cornwall & ran Camborne-Mousehole 16miles + & thanks to Dad who came along for the journey on the bike!!

During the week managed a few training sessions a shorter 10km run on friday & yesterday (Sunday 7th) put in a nice comfortable 18mile run in 2:45 so its all good at the mo!

Got the Silverstone half this weekend & hopefully a couple of long training runs for the next few weeks with some speed work in between, not long to the big day!
