Distance : 11 miles - Long Run
Total Training Distance (since beginning Jan 12) : 11 miles
Route & Stats : Whitlingham & Trowse Loops
After a pretty successful autumn setting PB's at both 10k (47m) and half marathon (1h 46m) and managing to stay largely injury free I am ready to begin my assault on this years Virgin London Marathon. Last time I completed the race in 4h 34m which was good ...... but not good enough and so I have set myself a challenging personal objective to finish this year under 4 hours, hence the name of my blog!
It's going to be tough and I will have to be much more disciplined in terms of following a structured training plan and mixing up the training with more hill work and speed work as well as the gruelling long runs. Also need to shed a bit more weight so will have to watch what I eat and drink ...... no more crisps and biscuits for me :(
Off to a nice steady start with 11 easy miles round Whitlingham Broad and Trowse ..... I think most of my long runs will be reasonably close to home this year. This was the first time I have used my new Camelbak back pack which was a great success and will be a regular feature on my long runs, also pleased to report that since the digital switch over the DAB radio signal around the broad is excellent .... I find listening to the radio much more of a distraction than music.
