Week 2 training plan review

2nd week of the training done. Chuffed to be able to report I managed to follow to the plan and get done what was needed. 

Alas I can’t say the same for attempts at dieting. Maybe next week will be better!

Appreciate a training plan review doesn't make for an interesting read but I need to get this down in writing as I think it's definitely helping motivate me to stick with it (thank you guilt, thank you shame, you excellent motivators you).

Week 2

Training runs: 4 (3 hours total running time) 3 midweek runs 30 minutes, 40 minutes, 40 minutes; 1 weekend run 70 minutes.

Number of takeaways: 1 curry -  this is a (very) good week for me.

Despite getting none of the snow which had been promised (boooo) it was still very cold out on the long weekend run, but there’s no way I could run for that long on a treadmill (not a treadmill fan really), so had to layer up and get out there. The treadmill is ok for 30/40 minute runs but anything longer, nah. Also my windmill arms don't do well with treadmill running - on more than one occasion I’ve thumped the emergency stop button by mistake (my running style is very much 'Phoebe from Friends') 

Have to admit I’m still a bit dubious that I’ll manage to run a whole marathon 14 weeks today, but I’m just going to trust the plan, stick to the goals one week at a time.
