Midweek runs = total of 90 minutes ( not all in one go I should add - across 3 days!)
Weekend long run = 60 minutes
That’s 2.5 hours of running in total - now if I could just do that in one go ….. and double it ….. that would be a marathon :-)
So, Week one of the plan of doom went well. Thank god. If I fell at this hurdle I’d be in trouble. Still I’m pleased to be able to say even at this ridiculously early stage I’ve done what I needed to this week.
Being unable to run over christmas did send me into a spiral of panic, as my training to date hasn’t had any structure to it really, just getting out for a run when I got the chance to a few times a week. Finding a proper plan to follow has helped massively (@myelling 16 week improver plan - https://www.virginmoneylondonmarathon.com/en-gb/trainingplans/), and reassures me that what I have done so far is enough - incorporating a regular run in 2016 has prepared me for January and setting my proper training routine! Now we are here at the final 3 months apparently the next four weeks are all about establishing that routine building up those steady miles.
Oh and this was my treat post todays run …… the 'orange' part is OK no?! (I need to hide the kids left over christmas chocolate it’s too tempting and there’s still bloody loads of it hanging around and calling to me!)
