Proper Training

15 weeks until the VLm, that's Virgin London Marathon for the unitiated, and I've chosen a training plan to work around. i started the plan which comes from a mob called Ironbridge yesterday with a 15 mile LR, I'm not going to say slow as it was at race pace. Fancy that me using expressions like 'race pace'. According  Garmin connect I knocked 15mins of my PB for the distance and bumped into Shed load Garry en route so  all in all a pretty good run. The thing that pleased me most was that i managed the last 2 miles without any pschological hangup. My time was 2.16 ,and considering i was hang over, malnourished, cold and dehydrated  it was a pretty good effort.

My plan means that I need to run four times a week  with a little gym thrown in. i might even stretch it to five  some weeks, with a LSR sundays, a short run saturday,  and two  or three runs i the week. there is  an emphasis on speed work and i think i might have to hit the  track for that.
