Training Update #1

First week and a bits training has gone really well.  It doesnt take long for the bug to come back.  Looking forward to the next days training already.  Feel really good.  Still a bit unfit and a bit of a spare tyre but other than that feel ok.

Will have to weigh up whether I can run in my Vibrams all winter as the feet were numb the other day due to the wet and cold and they dont exactly have the best grip in the ice.

We will persevere for now and see how things go.  Dont really want to go back to my old trainers as I need to strengthen my feet.

4 x 1mile fast runs tomorrow.

Jerry the dog is up to 3 miles.

Training Starts Soon

Right 3 months to go until my next challenge and the serious training starts on Monday.  A couple of xmas do's over the next few days have given me the excuse to have the weekend off.  I am going to follow a training schedule I used for my first London Marathon but for a number of the long runs I will change them to multiple long runs to get used to stopping and starting throughout the day.

After the first challenge where I ran for 10mins then walked for 2 mins I feel that to complete the 48 miles a day this time I am going to break it down into 4 x 12miles with an 1hour or 2hour break between.  I will see how the training goes and may change this if it doesnt seem to be working.
