WhistleHappy Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 ...how much training are you having to put in at the mo, special diets etc..? Be interesting to see a typical weeks preparation in the life of a marathon runner, & how it changes week by week as the race day approaches..

redsince82 Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Its not going too well at the moment!! the training should have started a while ago, so i,m a little behind schedule. i wont bore you with a list of excuses (genuine reasons) foot injury, xmas etc....But not a bad week, Monday-rest day (start the week off slowly), Tuesday- 5 mile run, little bit of hill work, Weds- rest day (little soar from tuesday!), thursday- 4 mile quick run scheduled...... didnt make it due to supporters trust meeting, which i promised to attend so the marathon run could be discussed.Friday- i managed a 3 mile jog, But today (saturday) i am going out for a 6 mile quick pace run.So the miles are getting there but i really need to get a lot more very very soon. So this week, the plan is to do atleast 20 miles.I have really tried with the old "healthy eating regime" a big reduction in McDonalds and more pasta and potatoes. (i'm glad you cant see the bacon butty slyly sat next to the pc!) So its saturday, I'm allowed a treat!On a side issue, anybody reading this who thinks they may be able to help me design a better sig, please get in contact. Not wholly convinced that the one under this post, is really effective enough. Bearing in mind, my computer skills are similiar to that of a 4 year old!!so all advice and input will be greatly receivedCheers all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsince82 Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 RUNNING TOTAL (hmm, like the pun? ) now up to £181 ... good contributions so far this week. :goingup: (btw, anyone seen Nik lately? - hope he aint done a runner ! )evenin all!! thanks for worrying about me! but this running lark is taking up more time than i first thought. So quick update, sponsors still trickling in, keep your eyes out for new initiatives (hopefully)in the next week. Still no news from the club on the few things that i have asked for, no reply from the evening post either (i'm writing to them again, when i have finished this post).I have contacted GWR, hoping they might jump on the City Vs Rovers bandwagon, those 2 "crazy fools" bush and troy seem to love the whole "2 sides of the city" stuff, so Thanks again to all those who have taken the time to visit my site, if you havent had chance yet TRY IT NOW!!!!Ok many emails to write, watch this space for updates, oh and sponsor me now or whistlehappy will nag you all into submission.Thanks guys (you know who you are)Nik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
