I had a fabulous weekend running the Virgin London Marathon, times below. I’m going to take a week off and just relax, maybe next week I’ll do a little work at the gym (probably cardiovascular), I think I’ll give my legs a rest for the full 2 weeks before starting to run again.

I more please with raising money for Marie Curie Cancer Care who are a fabulous bunch of guys, I would certainly run for them again given the chance. I’m going to keep my sponsorship page open for 4 weeks or so on the off chance of more sponsorship. If you have a spare few quid, feel free to pop over to my sponsorship page and sponsor me here.

The London Virgin Marathon

Leave a reply

I’ve had a bit of time tonight so I thought I would write  my marathon training program for next years London Virgin Marathon. My official training starts on the 3rd January. Until I start, I’m going to start taking up my mileage slowly, at present I’m only running about 15 miles a week. I think I’ll take it up to 30 in gradual steps.

Then when I do start my training proper, I won’t find it as hard. That’s the theory anyway :) .

My training schedule is here, fingers crossed for good health and no injuries (this time).

I’ve managed to get into the LONDON MARATHON! on the first attempt. How lucky am I ? (the answer is very). Since I’ve been so lucky, I’m going to run it for charity, probably a cancer charity (not decide which yet). So I’ll be scrounging for donations at some point in the next few months (friends and relative beware! ;-) )

I’ve taken 3 weeks off so far since the Berlin Marathon, plenty of rest I’m thinking. So next week I’ll start running some easy 4×4 miles, taking me up to 16 miles for the week. Then I’ll maybe sit down and write myself a training program based on ones I’ve done previously.
