Proper Marathon Training – 2 Jan 2010!

Happy New Year.

The proper marathon training has now started with 113 days to the marathon and £4365 of sponsorship money behind me! At 7am this morning, still dark and minus 3 degrees I went on my first proper long run (14 miles).

I have read some marathon training articles over Christmas and I stuck to what they said and felt bloomin brilliant after and I could easily have done more miles and gone quicker too.

2009 was a rubbish year however I did do 2 races between Christmas and New Year which made not a bad finish to the year. A 10 miler which I was really pleased with the time and then a massive 10K PB on New Years Eve in a race that included a GB Triathlete and a GB Female Cross Country runner (yes she did beat me!)

I have set myself a couple of New Years Resolutions, which I doubt Ill keep but I thought I would share them;

- No beer (yes!) in January
- Cutting down massively on chocolate and puddings (I have a very very sweet tooth)
- At least 1 Saturday track sprint session a month
- Wear a tie at work every day

No chance Ill do all these but Ill give them a go!
