Marathon Training – Day 119
Oh Jebus
I can’t believe I haven’t done any training in 4 weeks. So it appears I’m going 3 months on, 1 month off now! That doesn’t seem like a sensible training plan by anyone’s stanards. I can explain away some of this (2 weeks injured, 1 week skiing) but the last week was quite simply [...]
Marathon Training – Day 89
Conflicting advice about shin slints abounds! Firstly, some people I’ve talked to, and some people on the interweb who’ve seen my youtube videos, seem to think that because of where the pain in my leg is, it’s unlikely to be shin slints at all. Then those who do think it’s shin splints, are split in [...]
Marathon Training – Day 80
Ryan Phillips Marathon Training – Day 80 – Thursday 14 January 2010
Back to the gym today, and a little bit of gym rage. I’m used to going to the gym in the afternoon, but I got help up yesteday doing stuff so I didn’t get to the gym until just after 6pm and it was [...]
Marathon Training – Day 78
Day two of the 10km training plan (which seems me up to 10km standard and pace in 11 weeks, or so it says) called for a 3 mile jog to follow up on the 4 mile run on Sunday.
There was more snow today, so everywhere public was still a bit ifffy and hard to run [...]
Marathon Training – Day 77
Looking back on day 77 (which I can do, since I’m posting this 4 days afterwards on day 81) I could easily say that I didn’t do any training because my training guide said not to and that it was bad to run two days in a row at any time, but particularly at the [...]
Marathon Training- Day 51
The pigging out over the last few days, and particularly yesterday has felt great at the time, but it’s always the next day when you look in the mirror or stand on the scales or feel tired and unfit, or all of the above (as today) that you regret doing it. Today I was back [...]
Marathon Training – Day 41
I can’t believe that my stupid cold is starting to make a comeback!! I’ve been burning through toilet roll at an alarming rate, but despite that I still went to the gym today, and did my now customary 20 minutes on the bike (7km, thanks for asking) and 20 minutes on the cross trainer, but [...]
Marathon Training – Day 6
Look, anyone will tell you that an important aspect of any training programme is incorporating rest days. So today was a rest day, where no exercise whatsoever was undertaken. Does anybody know for sure when the correct time to weigh yourself is? My weight can differ by 4-6lbs depending on the time of day, and [...]
