Finally, a longer run is complete. Did a very testing run this morning with Julie, Lisa, Gill & Sharon from Saltaire to Eldwick, then onto Baildon and back to Saltaire - I think it totalled just over 10 miles, and we were out for about 1.40 minutes. It was a bit longer than I should've done according to my training plan but I really enjoyed it, despite the mammoth hills at Eldwick. My heart is still beating out of my chest now!
I've struggled to keep to the training plan due to the inclement weather and icy paths but am hoping to get back on track next week. Still managed five miles last Monday, five on Friday evening and an hour's boot camp on Saturday, but it is not enough! So, next week's training should look like this:
Monday - 30 minutes easy
Tuesday - Rest
Wednesday - 40 minutes steady
Thursday - Marathon School - last week cancelled so not sure if it's fartlek or 5k time trial
Friday - 60 minutes easy
Saturday - Bootcamp
Sunday - 90 minutes easy.
This week I need to find a route to run next Sunday and also investigate what I need to be doing about 'fuelling' when I run. Do I need gels, energy drinks or what??
Twelve weeks today and the marathon will be complete!
