Training Update
WE 22nd May - 1 race, distance 5km in 0:28:57
WE 29th May - 2 training sessions, week distance 13.8 miles. Total distance run this year 102 miles
Ran my first ever 10 miler yesterday. Time 1:55:48. Pace throughout was all over the place but at least I did not quit (felt like quitting after the first 3km). Moral of the story - no nights out the night before! (It was my friend’s wedding so...

Running consecutive days
I’ve been wanting to try my local running club (Crystal Palace Fun Runners) for a while. Left work with plenty of time to make it today but somehow go caught up at home.
Made it to the meeting point just to see everyone begin their run :( I’ll try to join them again next week.
So, I decided to run by myself. No biggie as this is the way I’ve trained so far. Ran 6.4km today,...

Distance total
Just checked my running log and realised I’ve run 75 miles this year! That’s quite an achievement for me. This time last year I would not have even considered even running 1 mile let alone setting myself a running challenge for 2011.
I’m starting to feel the benefits of training so will now try to step up the training. Longer distances and quicker pace (I WILL get a sub-55 at...

Endurance
Starting to build on my endurance by running longer distances once a week. I’m starting with 8 miles then increasing that each week until the 4th week where I’ll bring it back to 8 miles and start again etc. The plan is to stick to the shorter sessions too, as well as sticking to those intervals (urgh - they’re so difficult).

WE 1st May - 1 session, distance...

Unfortunately, now that my free time seems to revolve around running schedules and race dates looming especially the...
