In attempt to get next year’s training off to the best possible start I have just returned from a short 4k run taking approximately 20 minutes (route map above).
With just 15 weeks or so until the London Marathon I need to get a good basic level of fitness before my “serious” 9-week schedule kicks in on 11 February 2008. Week 1 of the serious schedule will see me running 35 miles (58km) in a week, the mileage reaching a peak in Week 6 where I will be pounding the streets for 49 ½ miles (82km). A full training schedule and my ability to match it will be published on here in due course.
Training races confirmed so far are:
Regents Park Winter Grand Prix – 10k – 6 January 2008
Regents Park Winter Grand Prix – 10k - 3 February 2008
The ASICS Kingston Breakfast Run – 16 Miles - 30 March 2008
