| I'm going to have to break up these treadmill runs during the week as they're going to bore me stupid. This was OK but dull. I'm following Hal Higdon's training plan (intermediate I). Is anyone else aware of this and have any advice or comment? http://www.halhigdon.com/marathon/Mar00intermediate.htm | | Comments(2) |

| fast flat run down to corkscrew hill roundabout and back. pouring, freezing rain and wind. Not having much luck so far in 2007 with the weather. Absolutely sodden when I got home :) | | Add Comment |

| Long slow run, not overstretching, just adding in some miles before the distance start to shoot up next week. Bit scared about that! Next Sunday I'll be doing 11 miles which to you runaholics is just a stroll in the park but for a newbie like me? well eek. | | Comments(2) |

| Wednesdays are always going to be my difficult days I think. 6 miles on treadmill, boring and difficult. Might have to cut out the treadmill work where possible as the distances grow as I find it hard to focus. pace was OK for me - 47:17 (slow by most of your standards!!) | | Add Comment |

| Meant to be fast anyway! Have a long one tomorrow so have to be careful. A very familiar lap so I go into autopilot a bit. When will this wind drop??? | | Add Comment |

These Long Slow Runs are getting longer. This was an hour after everyone had left from my 3yr old's birthday party so I had been scoffing crisps, pizza, cake and beer over lunch. Not the best preparation.
Went OK considering, and more importantly I am writing this on Monday and my legs feel OK (not 100%, but OK).
It is beginning to dawn on me that I might actually be able to do this marathon lark! | | Add Comment |

Longest so far. It is getting colder here in the UK after one of the warmest winters on record. Suddenly temperatures are dropping and we are remembering what winter is all about.
This run was fine, consistent pace, although experienced my first bit of proper rubbing (ouch) :)
note to self: heavy rugby shirt no good for long runs.

Feeling a bit poorly today. Kids are ill, and I feel a bit nauseous.
By lunchtime felt a bit better so we decided to go for it. Short lap. OK but I know I probably shouldnt be running today. Will probably skip tomorrow.
by the way - anyone who's reading and wishes to sponsor me in aid of Asthma UK for the London Marathon please follow this link: http://www.justgiving.com/simonpowell2007

Midweek distances are starting to build up now. Stuck to the treadmill because of time constraints. Varied the pace to add interest, but still BORING on the treadmill!
54:19, so 7:45 miles. :) | | Comments(3) |
