Fartlek Training here I come...
Here's the latest update from YouthNet marathon runner Donna:Well, things are going well. The run on Sunday went better than planned, ended up doing 11 miles in 2 hours so very pleased (although Monday was a very stiff day!). I also did a 6 mile run on Saturday so back on target. The weather helped considerably, it has to be said.
Talking of the weather, the freezing cold really got to me this week. Tuesday did a good 2 mile at the gym at lunch, and then only managed 3 miles on Tuesday night but I think that was partly due to the 11 miles on Sunday and my legs feeling like lead.
Thursday, again very good at the gym but after walking the dogs after work, it was looking very dangerous to actually run on the streets of Newark. Therefore it was decided I wouldn't (and reviewing the London Marathon website, the editor even said it was a bad idea). Friday I hit the treadmill again.
The weekend went ok. Lot of home stuff to deal with this week so mind not really on it, but feeling a lot more positive today (Monday). Started to do 8 miles quite comfortably and did a very good run on the treadmill yesterday, but the temperature is up again so it is back to the streets with Solo this evening.
Have great hopes for this week, with 9 weeks to go have to get some Fartlek training in. Here is to good weather, good running and a dog that doesn't want to pee too much!
