Half way through my 3rd week of training now, last week I only managed 3 runs due to having a job interview on the Friday but I still managed to run over 21km which I was happy with. Tomorrow I am hoping to run 13km which will be my longest ever run and would be a good step forward, my challenge is to run for 10 minutes longer each Thursday, so I started at 50 minutes, and will be running for 1hr 10mins. Not very much at the moment by most recreational runners standards but come January/February time I will hopefully be running 2-3hrs once a week on top of my other 3 training sessions, which is both exciting and scary!
The weather is forecast to snow in the North and some Eastern parts of the country this week, and as I'm yet to get my running tights or training top I am really hoping it doesn't! Heres some stats for my total training so far:
I have burnt off more calories than there are in 9 Big Macs.
I have run for longer (time wise) than if you watched all 3 of the Bourne trilogy back to back.
I have run the distance from Loughborough to Coventry.
Not bad for 9 sessions I don't think. Please don't forget to sponsor me, it would be great if you could all dig deep and contribute what you can for HOPEHIV. They are a fantastic charity, please follow the link from the text at the top of the page!
