Well today was my first day of training, and I opened my curtains wide hoping for the rays of morning sunlight to burst through my window. Unfortunately, this was not to be as rain beat down on the grass outside and grey clouds filled the sky. So off to the gym it was and the treadmill was the order of the day. Felt like it went ok and I kept a good pace, and was interesting looking at the adidas micoach afterwards to see my heart rate during my exercise, and which of their neatly colour designated training zones I was in at different times.
This afternoon I went round a friends house briefly, before going in to town to buy some new running shoes, which I've never had before so it was great having my gait cycle (stride) videoed and looked at to see where I needed support from my shoes due to foot shape and running technique. I bought some New Balance running trainers (see picture) in the end, with £20 off the RRP so I was pleased to have saved some money there, also bought some running socks and a drinks bottle for running I got for free!
The week ahead, I've got 3 more runs, football training and a game on Saturday, and 2 gym sessions, so I'm keeping busy. With regard to sponsorship for my Marathon I will be setting up a page through which you can donate if you so wish in the next week. Thanks for looking.
