Orla roared laughing when I told her what I did for training today, which I thought was a little mean, but makes me think you will probably have the same sort of reaction. Again, it’s worth stressing, my right leg is still injured and I have to be very careful with it for a while… [Continue Reading]

So, Monday the first of March. Since I always start things I have to try hard at (like healthy eating or going to the gym, or in this case both) and since I always feel more motivated at the start of a new month for some reason, the fates seemed to be telling me today… [Continue Reading]

Previously, on Marathon Training….. I injured my leg, thought it was Shin Splints, but it turned out not to be and actually to be something to do with muscles around the shin (which is slightly differeny I’m told) then the leg got better after a lot of rest, then I played badminton and it started… [Continue Reading]

It’s with a slight depression that I have to concede to not having done any training whatsoever today. I was talking to a friend of mine at lunch and she told me she is also planning to run a marathon, but unlike me she is not telling anybody so there is no pressure on her… [Continue Reading]

More sitting about and doing nothing today! God damn injury, enough already, go away. I got a bit depressed about the whole thing today. It’s a horrible helpless feeling to be sitting on your hole and waiting to be able to start training again, especially when, like me, you’re only at the very start of… [Continue Reading]

Another (scheduled) day off from training today. I’ve decided to take the recommended day off for the first week, but from next week I’m throwing in a swim on Monday, some cross training on Wendesday and some weights on Friday. SO, today was a day off and needed too because my left ankle was still… [Continue Reading]

I spent most of this afternoon looking at the Rat Calendar Tracy got me for Christmas (long story) and drawing up a training plan for the next few months for running/jogging. There’s a load of websites out there with training plans and schedules so I just picked 1 at random and decided to go with… [Continue Reading]
Marathon Training – Day 34

Today, It was really important just to get back into the gym and do some bloody exercise. I haven’t done any since Thursday (it’s now Sunday) and the exercise on Thursday was rubbish, so really it has been Wednesday since I’ve done any meaningful training/exercise. So, at 6 O’Clock on a Sunday evening I toddled… [Continue Reading]
