March Review

A better month mileage wise.  Managed 110 miles this month and I have got the Sunday run up to 2.5 hours and I am planning 3 hours on Sunday.  Now running with my Mizuno Wave Harrier 14 which I managed to negotiate £25 and free delivery off - the joy of internet price wars!

Right arch still a bit tender but I am sure some hamstring stretching before will help (if  i remember to do it)  Now doing a longer mid week run started last night 9 miles followed by 3 today.  It was the first time for a long time where my legs felt heavy and tired during the run, therefore that is me now in new territory in my training plan i.e. outwith my comfort zone.

The biggest challenge is getting up early enough on a Sunday to squeeze a long run in and not lose the full day whilst sacrificing sleep.

Time for a rest for a few days.

cheers

Feb Review

Things going well this month.  After ditching the cheap sauchonys and went back to my Mizunos- injury free.  Although now on the look out for a new pair which is always a long drawn out affair.

Training has went well this month managing 4 runs a week (mostly).  Ran to Glasgow (Tollcross) from Law, 17miles, 2hours 30 mins at 9 min mile pace which will be ultra pace and I felt good throughout.  So as long as I do not run two days in a row my feet aren't sore- maybe I should speed up the new trainers!

After the long run I brought my sunday run last week down to an hour and half I am planning on upping to 2 hours on sunday.

Cheers
