Marathon Training – Days 123-125
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 [...]
Marathon Training – Day 121
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 [...]
Marathon Training – Day 93
Arms are killing me today. Stupid swimming, that’s the last time I’ll don one of those little hats and subject myself to such toture, I suspect water-boarding would be about the only more tortuous thing involving water that you could be subjected to. Anyway, after swimming yesterday I was scheduled to hit the cross trainer [...]
Marathon Training – Days 87 & 88
Well, there’s not a whole lot of nothing going on in terms of marathon training, the last two days I haven’t done any. I’ve done stretches to try and loosen up whatever it is that’s causing these Effing Shin Splints, but it’s not really working to be honest. I might be going drinking with my [...]
Marathon Training – Day 86
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 [...]
Marathon Training – Day 79
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 [...]
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 76
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 [...]
Marathon Training – Day 30
What is it about weights and exercise that yourr muscles are always moer sore two days after exercising them than the day after. I KIND of get the science, but it’s stil not fair because you’re lulled into a false sense of security when you feel relatively fine the day after exercise, then BAM, the [...]
