Easy Run
Easy run today as just getting over a cold and lower back muscle spasms. 7km run in 39mins. First 5mins warm up, HR 130, then 30mins HR approx 145. I threw in 5 sets of 100m sprints in intervals of 5mins and last a 5 min cool down. Felt pretty good afterwards, but how cold was it out there? Brrrrrr. Got to be done though.

The question is Why?
Well, that's about it for time being. I will update my blog and let you know how the training is panning out.
Hi, I'm Steve, who for some unknown reason has taken it upon himself to try and run five Marathons next year, 2011. So far I have managed to enter two, with a third pending. Why? am I doing this, well hopefully to raise a considerable amount of cash for my chosen charity, Help for Heroes. I have run marathons before, the last, nine years ago. My mid life crisis has hit me and I have taken this challenge up by the horns. I have been training via a programme from Adidas MI Coach. I'm up to running approx 2hr 30mins, distances of approx 28kms. I try and mix my training with some hill work on tread mills, interval training and a slow run prior to my weekly long run. Motivation is what I need at the moment because I can tell you when it's cold and dark and you have just done a twelve hour shift the last thing you want to do is go out for a run! At the moment I have the first cold of the winter season which is slowing me down, especially as my first marathon is April 3rd 2011, the Sussex Marathon. I managed to do a 15km charity run last week in Richmond Park, in a respectable time of 1hr 08min, 61st out of 300. Not bad for my standards. It shows the training must be paying of.
