Training Ramps Up

Well after the marathon challenge on Friday I had a couple of days off to rest my weary legs.

Now I'm fully focused on my training schedule.

Mon - weights 100 rep challenge

Tues - Warm up, 1 x 2 miles fast, 6 mins easy, 3 x 1 miles fast with 3 min recoveries inbetween - Time 43:43

Wed - 6 miles easy

Thur - 7 mile farlek - Time 45:43

Fri - 3 mile easy - Time - 19:48

Today I have got a 6 mile off road with strides.  looking forward to that!

Next week is interesting with an 18 mile endurance run.....

Sainsbury's Fundraiser

On Friday 27th Jan I embarked on my very last fundraiser before the London marathon.  The day was a great success and I have to thank the staff at Sainsbury's store in Helston, Cornwall for their great support and letting me take over the front of their store for 6 hours.


Also I would like to thank Irish a.k.a. Michael McMahon for being my spokesman/water boy for the day.


Not forgetting all the kind people that came into the store and donated, many thanks.


We managed to raise £389.71 in total.


The day did not start very well at all.  1.5 miles into the challenge my calf went again but I cracked on at 9 min/mile pace and eventually finished in 3 hours 55mins.


So this leaves me £200 short of my target £2300.  With a bit more sponsorship I'll be there in no time.
