Each new year generally starts with a resolution or two. I'm not one to buck trends so have never really done any. presumably that means that i fall into the category of not being able to keep to mine. So far this year I have vowed to add in a little bit more than just radio onto this blog. Back in 2004 I entered the London Marathon and managed to complete a degree of training and stagger round in 4:30 ish. That was the result of a challenge from a brother in law. So this year I am going to recreate the uncomfortable feeling of plodding round a stupidly long run for no real gain. Armed with the bravado of knowing that the Endinburgh marathon is in may and thats months away I'm going to predict a better time that the London affair. I'm going for under 3:30.
Training starts properly on the 25th January and is going to comprise of 3 running sessions and 2 cross training sessions. The 3 running will be a speed session, tempo and long run whilst the cross training is likely to be bike based with a long ride out on the weekend to help the fred whitton riders and another session, probably revolving round commuting. Until then its increasing fitness for 4 weeks in order to be able to train!
The resolutions then is to keep reasonably good notes on this blog that remind me of progress against the plan....we'll see how it goes.
